----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
NHL = National Hockey League
Comcast Cable will showing our local pro hockey team
the San Jose Sharks in HD, preempting HDTV INHD2
channel, it is a HD simulcast of SD on FOX Sports Net
Bay Area channel 40. It is a FOX Sports Net Bay Area
production with a deal with Comcast for the HD
coverage (Same thing applies to the SF Giants, Oakland
A's and Warriors Basketball team.)
There are also many other Comcast Sports Net
regionals, throughout the country and there are also
many FOX Sports Net regionals, check with your local
Cable Co. and/or DBS service for any HD channels they
carry
Comcast may (we will hope) pick a couple of the HD
regional NHL matches to present on their Comcast cable
to the rest of the country if no game is being covered
by the local regionals.
It is convoluted system of TV rights,
FOX Sports Net Regionals are separate from the "FOX
Sports" with NFL Football, MLBaseball etc., yet FOX
still owns in interest in the FSN regional networks,
so it is hard to figure all poss. senerios
