DirecTV lights up 24/7 HD for CSN New England

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 29th 2008 at 5:57PM


Even DirecTV didn't have too much to say on this one, but as of today, its subscribers can catch the 24/7 high-definition version of CSN New England (also known as Comcast SportsNet New England) on channel number 630. The highlight of the add? More of those defending NBA champions in glorious HD.

Cox bringing handful of new HD channels to Rhode Island

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 14th 2008 at 8:16PM


Hot enough for you, New England? If you've been scrounging for any reason whatsoever to remain indoors, take a listen at this. The latest Cox New England newsletter has informed its recipients that USA HD, Bravo HD, SciFi HD and AMC HD are on the way (along with one other), and our tipster in Rhode Island was able to confirm. Additionally, CNBC HD was mentioned in the pamphlet, so we'd cautiously assume that it too will surface in the near future. Sadly, no launch dates were given for any of the stations.

[Thanks, Allan]

Update: RI can expect these on June 18th; CT / MA will have them June 25th. Thanks everyone!

We know, the DISH Network news is coming in hot and heavy today, but regardless of whether your neck of the woods is getting HD locals, you can certainly look forward to seeing one more high-def channel in your EPG. Announced today, the sat provider is serving up New England Sports Network (NESN) in SD and HD on channel 434 (HD), and it should be noted that said network is the first regional sports channel in the nation to "originate every game and studio show in HD." See, Boston sports aren't all that far away after all.

Verizon's FiOS TV coming soon to Rowley, Massachusetts

by Darren Murph, posted Dec 19th 2007 at 8:55AM


As much of the country waits with bated breath, New England has claimed yet another FiOS TV hotspot -- well, almost. Reportedly, the Board of Selectmen in Rowley, Massachusetts granted a cable franchise to Verizon this past Monday, which essentially paves the way for some 1,800 more households in the Bay State to soon receive another option for television delivery. The agreement ensures that the number of Massachusetts communities in which the fiber-based service is available in will grow to 63, but unfortunately, there's no definitive word on when the inhabitants of Rowley will be able to take VZW up on its offers.
