About 2 weeks ago I moved from a major comcast market (Dallas) to a minor Cox/Suddenlink market (College Station). MOTHER******! This pisses me off, I was soo close to being able to enjoy all these games in HD. I'm don't know for sure but I'm almost positive that Dallas will be getting ESPN2-HD GRRR!!!!

a game with highs scores doesn't mean it's more interesting than one with low scores

Football (the one that the whole world plays) has been around a LOT longer than the American version, hence the term "American Football", not just "Football"

1.5 billion viewers can't be wrong]]>Jun 9th 2006 10:10AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/Jun 9th 2006 10:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/Jun 9th 2006 10:55AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/

I'm in Plano and we don't have ESPN2-HD. I called a rep and they didn't even ear anything about the press release. :-( Not gonna happen here, at least not in time for the WC.]]>Jun 10th 2006 2:41PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/Jun 11th 2006 11:17AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/Jun 11th 2006 4:34PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/
When I was a little kid and they still used to air the latest episodes of Dallas on German TV, there was a documentary about the water utilities in Germany.
Supposedly, they had to up the water pressure two minutes before the end of the episodes, because everyone running to the bathrooms and flushing their businesses.
Now, whether this is still done the same way or been automated by now, I don't know. But from that point of view, generously putting halts on sporting events at will, seems a very practical approach on cutting those pressure spikes that some water pipes might not be able to handle.
Now, if we hear about busted water pipes all around the world after the wold cup final, we know why. ;-)]]>Jun 11th 2006 10:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/Jun 12th 2006 10:30AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/08/comcast-is-adding-espn2-hd-in-time-for-the-world-cup/That's 18 HD channels.
