Mark Cuban promises the first 1080 NHL & NBA arena next season

by Richard Lawler posted Jun 9th 2009 at 9:16PM


It should be no wonder Mark Cuban (got some Jerry Jones envy?) is promising the first NHL & NBA arena with 1080-line digital scoreboards. While 1080p has been well entrenched in scoreboards for the outdoor sports (like the Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees) it appears the winter brethren has been slacking, but with the Mavericks and Stars not competing in tonight's finals action, plans to upgrade American Airlines Center ahead of the 2009-10 seasons are already underway, with four 18- by 30-foot video scoreboards coming to the center display and two 24- by 72-foot video walls at the north and south ends. If that's not enough, the sounds are getting a makeover too, with a "state-of-the-art concert quality sound system" bring a digital six speaker linear system to next years attendees, though we should all get a (3D?) look during the 2010 NBA All-Star Game next February.

Time Warner Cable adding 18 HD channels in North Texas

by Darren Murph posted Dec 16th 2008 at 7:50PM


After being forced to wait months upon months to get the HD channels it was rightfully owed (okay, so we made that last bit up), the folks in North Texas are finally being treated properly this time around. According to a Time Warner Cable bulletin posted in the Dallas News, the entire North Texas metroplex -- included Arlington, Carrollton, Dallas, Irving, Garland, Plano, Richardson and Graham (just to name a few) -- is being gifted at once. There are 18 newcomers headed to town, and if all goes to plan, they'll be live just hours after you read this. Hit the read link (or just have a look above) to see what all is on deck.

AT&T gets official with Total Home DVR in Dallas / Fort Worth

by Darren Murph posted Sep 23rd 2008 at 8:19PM


No surprises here, but AT&T has done its duty by pumping out a press release to match up with information discovered late last week. As of now, the recently released Total Home DVR software is available to U-verse subscribers in the Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas area, and if you're curious as to what that adds, you can catch up right here. Hey AT&T, why not just present us with a nice, neat time table so the rest of your users aren't just in the dark? Thanks in advance.

U-verse Total Home DVR comes to St. Louis and Dallas / Fort Worth

by Darren Murph posted Sep 19th 2008 at 3:31PM


Considering that St. Louis, Missouri was one of the first locales to receive 2 HD / 2 SD from AT&T, we suppose it's no real shock to hear that some residents of that city are already sucking down the update. Announced earlier this month for the Bay Area, AT&T is apparently rolling its Total Home DVR software out to at least two more major metros: St. Louis and Dallas / Fort Worth. The carrier told us that the rest of its markets would get blessed soon, but we'll admit, we didn't figure "soon" to mean "next week." Any others out there getting notification of the update on their set-top-box?

[Thanks, Anthony]

TWC spreads Dallas' 11 newest HD channels to Irving / Las Colinas

by Darren Murph posted Jul 10th 2008 at 8:09PM

So Time Warner Cable promised outlying areas of Dallas / Fort Worth that they'd have access to these 11 high-def channels within nine months of 'em landing in DFW. It has been just under four months now, and we're hearing that residents of Irving, Las Colinas and other surrounding towns are finally seeing the likes of CNN HD, TBS HD, History HD, A&E HD, Discovery HD, National Geographic HD and a smattering of others. Still, we're hesitant to believe that everyone in the region is covered, so be sure and let your status be known below. [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family]

TWC adds 11 HD channels in Dallas, Texas region

by Darren Murph posted Mar 27th 2008 at 11:26AM

Considering that Time Warner Cable has been beefing up the HD lineups in San Antonio, Austin, Waco and other areas of Central Texas, it's about time the slighted Dallas region got their due. As of today, TWC is dropping 11 high-def newcomers in Dallas, Plano, Richardson and Mesquite, and we're told that other local cities "should get the new feeds, and more, in the next nine months." According to company spokesman Gary Underwood, North Texas "should have around 50 HD channels, not counting HD video-on-demand, by the end of the year." These 11 bring the total in the area up to 31, which catapults it above FiOS TV but still situates it well below U-verse and the two sat providers. Still, you lucky North Texas folks are some of the few enjoying March Madness on Demand in high-def, so click on through for the list of newbies and hush that complaining for at least, oh, a week day or two.

Dallas & Fort Worth's CBS 11/TXA 21 switching to HD local news

by Matt Burns posted Aug 24th 2007 at 12:58PM

We love high-def local news and it's always great to hear when another local station announces their intention to flip the switch. There simply isn't a better way to see the highs and lows of a particular city than through the lens of a HD cam. Dallas and Fort Worth's CBS 11/TXA 21 are planning to make their inaugural broadcast on September 24. No word on the cost involved, nor on the amount of local HD programming but honestly, who cares as long as they bring more local HD news to Texas.
