DevilMinder Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Compared to the FSNY broadcasts the video and audio is so superior it is not even funny. Is FSNY broadcast in HDTV yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 yeah they do broadcast in HDTV. Yeah the Comcast cameras kick the crap out of FSNY and MSG cameras. I absolutely HATE the Flyers broadcasters tho. They define Homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strutter Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I absolutely HATE the Flyers broadcasters tho. They define Homers. The play by play guy really gets on my nerves. I dont mind a homer comment every now and then but he's relentless. I've read on Flyers boards that a good number of Flyers fans dont even like the guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Coates or Jackson? Cause I hate them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brylin18 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 there's a huge difference between devils and ranger games too. in ranger games, they've got replays of every minor play that occurs in the game and a camera on every player/coach/training staff member for both teams. of course, JD makes great use of that replay feature since he hypes up even the most trivial plays made by the rangers. in devils games, the only replays you get are goals and big saves.

'7' Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 the devs picture quality is poor and the arena seems very dark on television for some reason. same story with the Islanders. I'd also like it if they zoomed the camera following the play out a little bit so you could see more stuff unfolding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeps Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 But, for the FlyersPhans, Chico is the definition of a homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I would have to agree with that. Bring back Peter McNabb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck27 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 As long as Doc is calling the games, I could care less what the camera quality of the games is. The guy is truly head over heels the rest of the broadcasters in the business. Regardless of how the production of the game is, Doc makes it worth watching.

sammyk Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 yeah they do broadcast in HDTV.Yeah the Comcast cameras kick the crap out of FSNY and MSG cameras. I absolutely HATE the Flyers broadcasters tho. They define Homers. They may broadcast it in HDTV, but what cable system shows it in HDTV? I have HDTV, and the only channels that are HDTV are ABC, NBC, HBO, Showtime, and PBS. Comcast seems to be negotiating with CBS. Does Cablevision offer FSNY in HDTV? Usually it's a whole seperate channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeps Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I'd give anything for Doc as the play-by-play and eithe one of the 770 WABC announcers as color... Chico is fun once in a while, but every game? THE definition of homer, as bad as Rosen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Sammyk, Well before the drop of the puck at the beginning of the game Doc always says "And tonights Devs game in HDTV is brought to you by Panasonic then blah blah blah" so I guess that means they broadcast the games in HDTV.

GetReal Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Doc is one of the best announcers IMO Number 1 Davidson is second. Chico is one of the worst, he is such a HOMER, Marty is always great, he calls the action incorrect. A change would be welcome. As for Cableviision it is by far the worst Cable company in the business today. For many reason most have been mentioned on this board.

Yes, I know, but that doesn't mean your cable system picks it up. Here in Monmouth County, FSNY is Channel 75, and it is NOT shown in HDTV. Comcast and FSNY don't have an agreement. If and when they do, it will most likely be shown on a different channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 In Union County FSNY is definitely not shown in HDTV. No channel 1-99 is, only channels 100+ have the chance to be HD. -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 actually, i always thought that the games at the meadowlands were well lit on tv whereas games at msg always seem to look darker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 The Flyers' commentators are bad. The Penguins' commentators are terrible; they're in a league of their own. I've gotten to listen to both sets a lot here at school (get CSN and FSPitt), and they still drive me nuts. The Pittsburgh commentators don't even do play-by-play usually, they just watch the hockey game and talk every once in a while. And the color is just brutal to listen to.

NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Well you need to buy the HDTV service. It isn't free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 You need to buy a special HDTV TV thats a boatload of money and then the service. I've heard it's worth it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Well you need to buy the HDTV service. It isn't free. I have an HDTV ready TV, AND HDTV service from Comcast. Special box and all. This STILL doesn't get me FSNY in HDTV format. I watch other channels in HDTV, and can't wait to see the finals in HDTV on ABC. Oh, and by the way, HDTV service IS free.

NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Wow I have heard that it isn't free. I DO know you need to buy a special TV for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Wow I have heard that it isn't free. I DO know you need to buy a special TV for it. Yep, need a special TV for sure. Lots of them on sale these days. They have nice payment plans where you don't have to pay for a year, so a lot of people are picking them up. I called Comcast to get HDTV service, and they said the only charge is $15 for the guy to come out here and switch boxes. One snag with Comcast is that you need Digital Cable, which is more, but I already had it. Technically, you can get HDTV with a special antenna. With that you'd have to buy your own receiver, and antenna, but the service would still be free. Just a modern version of the "bunny ears".

NJayDevil Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Wow. I am shocked that it isn't free. I have comcast but we don't have digital cable but we are going to invest in that very soon because I've been pressing for it for quite sometime now. Now maybe I will press for a new TV in the Family Room while I'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
