Technically the channels ARE HD. But a 30hz broadcast for sports is just absurd. The fact that one of the channels is going to be 30hz tells me they have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Sports are pretty much unwatchable at 30hz. Even baseball and basketball.
Hawks, Bulls, & Sox new channel is Chicago Sports Network (CHSN)

This continues to be one of the biggest jokes/shitshows in sports broadcasting history, IMO. If I'm the Wirtz/Hawks, I'm having my lawyers figure out any possible way to get out of this deal with Reinsdorf. They've hooked their wagon up to a horse with 2 legs.
I mean, this is the exact type of thing all of us were afraid of when this was announced. Again, everything Reinsdorf touches turns to shit. I am not sure why anyone thought this would be different.

This is actually comically f***ing bad. Where is @IU Hawks fan to continue defending this shitshow that Reinsdorf has dragged the Hawks into?
I think I'm just going to return the antenna when it gets here. I'm not trying to watch hockey on a 30hz broadcast.

All cable broadcasts are 60hz, I believe. Cable companies don't broadcast any channels at a lower refresh rate that I'm aware of. If you have a 120hz TV, the TV builds a set of pixels to fill between the broadcast images.
I believe your DirecTV feed should be fine. I can't imagine they would ever broadcast a 30hz signal in this day and age. You can let us know tonight.
I will NOT get an antenna for Hawks games. I didn't even invest the time to watch full games last year. I will listen on the radio when convenient and will watch the youtube extended highlights.

I will not either just out of spite. It doesnt hurt anyone but myself but screw it.
ESPN+ does have VODs for every game next day, IIRC even for national broadcasts that they don't carry live

HF Hawks' favorite beat writer (Laz) lives somewhere in Lake County Indiana and is struggling to get these channels over the air. This shit is an absolute joke.

They really f***ed this whole thing. Day late and a dollar short.
In 2024, if you are launching a network without an app, you need to re-think whatever the f*** you're doing.
1) Come up with Network idea
2) Come up with leadership committee
3) Hire a PM and outsource a bunch of devs to immediately start building an app.

If you have channel Hawks pre-game stuff is now on (First programing of channel began at 5pm)
And it looks so cheap
Remember when CLTV had sports page or whatever it was back in 90's with guys sitting in cheap chairs in front of a cheap background
That is level of production we got here
Major downgrade from NBC Sports Chicago studio

They move a desk in and out of frame when needed
Chairs and desk look cheap as f*** (And chairs uncomfortable)

Might be worth checking out some of these other channel numbers if you aren't getting good reception on 62.2/62.3.

I feel for all the locals that have to put up with this backwards thinking.
Get an antenna to watch tv in 2024? I wouldn't do that if they paid me.
Luckily I can find the games on my computer. All I have to do is pay my internet bill every month.

Did he think he was going to get a reliable signal out there? Lol

Bro needs his own satellite to possibly get that to work.
1080i 30hz? No shot right?

Maybe, maybe not. I grew up in NW Indiana and remember being able to get signal (OTA) from Chicago. I'm an hour south of the UC (live in Beecher) nowadays, and have gotten a ton of channels from the city the few times I've hooked up to rabbit ears.
I think the expectation for everyone in the Chicagoland area is that this channel will be available over the air, though that is certainly not the case.
