I think they'll get a deal with Xfinity done by the 2nd game (first CHSN regular season game) and maybe Hulu/FuboTV. YouTubeTV is moving away from RSN's across the country. They only aired NBC Sports Chicago due to an existing deal. Also, don't be surprised if Xfinity puts CHSN on an upper tier you'll have to pay for, it's what they did with the Ballys.

A friend in Highland, Indiana told me they had no luck with 62.2 but 16.2 from South Bend was perfect so a pattern is developing.

WNDU-TV is a well-run station owned by Grey Broadcasting and they have technicians on staff that can tweak things. WJYS by comparison has struggled to pay the power bill since they signed on in 1991.

I am in the business - trying to run 10 channels on one signal isn't feasible.

Cable? Astound/RCN and U-Verse signed a deal with CHSN but both have limited footprints. U-Verse ran into trouble with the sidewalk utilty boxes needed.

Xfinity is Godzilla - I have a friend in his late 70s call me and he was crying as his internet/cable bill had hit $300. His only add ons are the sports bundle so he can get NFL Red Zone, the horse racing channel and HBO.

Xfinity will sign a deal with CHSN to keep the 'Regional Sports Fee' that all customers pay.

Xfinity's primary goal is to be your internet provider - keep the cord in your home.

Streaming? YouTubeTV - Fuhgeddaboudit and HULU Live TV likewise. That leaves Fubo that walked away from the Caps/Wizards channel in DC.

If Scott Powers is right and CHSN ends up on Hulu + live tv at some point I’m punting YTTV down the road as far as I can. Regional sports networks matter to the people who live in said region

So I bought an antenna and it’s working for many channels, but the 62.2 and 62.3 channels aren’t showing up regardless of where I’m bringing the antenna. Does this mean I’m SOL? I’m in Aurora btw

it could mean that your TV doesn't have an MPEG-4 tuner (which is standard with newer TVs, don't know when they became standard). if you're seeing a popup stating "audio only," you too are a winner!

Isn't it ironic that one of the big talking points about OTA being available to people who can't afford cable, is completely nullified by the fact that you can't watch on older televisions? You really can't make up incompetence levels like this.

I don't like that the Blackhawks are on top of the scorebug, it bothers me, but thats a nitpick. In general, the graphics are good. Rick Ball is amazing.

Started my directv trial just now. Have to remember to cancel it in 5 days.

I was thinking about getting a new tv this month but what’s the point if I can’t watch a hockey game at a reasonably high frame frequency.

Directv stream app fails to perform constantly on my newest model fire stick 4k. Good luck rewinding, fast forwarding, or even pausing.

Stream itself is good quality.

You know how easy it is to test your graphics on old content or put your camera in a spot and test the graphics. Lol. Small time bullshit. Looks like I’m watching high school basketball.

Been saying for a while now, this whole f***ing thing has been like a production of a high school play. It's a total shitshow, and screams amateur hour. Absolute joke of the league for broadcasting. Especially when you figure in how they brought in Ball for their broadcasts, then they pull this shit.

If it doesn't end up on YouTube TV, I'm hoping Hulu+ Live TV can make a deal.

Directv Stream (the only streaming provider currently) still requiring a contract is a no go for a lot of people.
