whale_31 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Does anyone know if Rogers plans on showing the GolTV TFC games on channel 501 in HD again this year? I don't want to bother ordering the channel if they are feeding the TFC games to the HD channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I don't mean to hijack your thread but it's pretty bad for TFC's mainstream visibility to have 21 games hidden away on Gol TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to argue with that very clear and true point but on the bright side, we get Luke Wileman doing PBP instead of Gerry Dobson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Wileman won't be doing all the games. Dan Dunleavy will be subbing in for some matches. Most likely when Wileman is doing Whitecap game for TSN.

I don't want to bother ordering the channel if they are feeding the TFC games to the HD channel Went to check if tonight's game was on 501 in HD and lo and behold Sportsnet 1 is now on 501. Guess we'll have to wait and see if they allocate another channel for GolTV HD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchamoun Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 The HD Preview channel is now on 499, but all I'm getting there is a black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 The HD Preview channel is now on 499, but all I'm getting there is a black screen. Ah yes it is, thanks. Would appear tonight's feed is non-HD, but who knows going forward...maybe home telecasts might be HD? Wait and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ah yes it is, thanks. Would appear tonight's feed is non-HD, but who knows going forward...maybe home telecasts might be HD? Wait and see... The game was shot and produced in HD, I watched it on MLS MatchDay Live and it was in high definition on there (the highlights on the MLS official site were taken from Gol's coverage). MLS mandates that all league matches are produced in HD, so I think we can expect that going forward (in last night's case, I believe there was no local broadcast of the match so Gol sent an entire crew to San Jose to produce a broadcast). Apparently Rogers is playing hardball with GolTV and won't be putting the HD channel on 501 this year (or 499). The only physical place you could have watched the HD feed last night was at RealSports (or on the MatchDay Live package, as previous mentioned).

Metro Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 ^^ Bell TV has ch 1412 designated as Gol TV HD, and it was black last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably pay back for the brainiacs at TFC FO deciding not to share any of the non-TSN TFC games with Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barticusz Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Anyone have GolTV on Shaw in Edmonton? I want to know if the games are available in HD or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 GolTV Canada has said that no one is carrying it in HD ... except a lonely bar in a now-deserted part of town who seem to have a direct feed. I hope no one is there on game day tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
