Will there be any HD channels for the superbowl with american commercials with Cogeco Digital Cable?

Last year the Detroit feed came from the US clean. The Seattle feed came via Rogers and was Global HD.

Same thing should happen this year as well.

I was looking at superbowl.com and it says the superbowl will be televised on cbs. Ch 282 - HD CBS – Detroit (WWI) would that be the channel with american commercials or is global gonna take over?

If your cableco carries Global, it will be Global.

Channel 282 is the channel you want. You should be the raw CBS feed from Detroit, like last year and like last week.

Cogeco did not have the Global HD problem that you are reading about on DHC.

Intrac, your comment is NOT correct.

Videotron carries Global, but since Global doesn't have OTA in their area, they don't simsub - they did last year because they got the feed from Rogers.

Rogers doesn't simsub Global over Detroit, which people outside the GTA get. (at least they didn't last year and so far)

If Cogeco carries Detroit, then the same may hold true.

Global doesn't have HD OTA in the GTA either, yet it simsubs locally.

Other sports programs that are simsubbed on regular GTA SD cable by a Global subsidiary, like CHCH Hamilton, are not simsubbed on HD because CHCH doesn't have an HD channel - either on cable or OTA.

Cogeco hasnt sub simmed any NFL games on the HD channels all year.

I dont remember what happened last year. Will they sub sim CBS? Who is carrying the superbowl in Canada? Isn't it global. If so No Sub sim will occuur becasue we don't get Global HD (THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!)

If I see a pizza pizza or canadian tire commercial during the superbowl, Im gonna puke

:mad:

East is CBS, West is GLOBAL HD.

Neither Cogeco or Rogers can alter the Detroit feeds because they feed these channels to many cable systems that are uneffected by simsubs.

Areas outside the GTA wont get simsubs on HD until each local plant is capible of inserting simsubs in their respective area.

At the present time no cable companies have the ability to simsub HD locally and thus why all cable systems that have the Buffalo feeds via Rogers get the simsubs.

What about for HD? I can understand Rogers substituting Global HD on top of CBS HD, because they carry it. However, Cogeco does not have Global HD, so unless they want to rob us of the Superbowl HD, wouldn't they just leave it as-is on CBS HD? After all, they can't drop in Global SD.

Chances are excellent that you'll get the CBS version -- not the Global simsub if Global HD isn't on your cable system.

I just recently started working part-time at one of Cogeco's Customer Service Call Centres in Burlington and this topic actually came up in my training and the guy said the HD feed of the Super Bowl will come in raw from the CBS Detroit affiliate with no substitution of Global because of the fact that Cogeco does not offer a Global television network affiliate channel in HD. Global does not have any HD channels of any of their affiliate networks at all so it will be as it has been all season for NFL games on either CBS HD or FOX HD. They have never once had signal substitution of Global at all on either channel.

Semi-true. Cogeco is the source of the Detroit HD signal but the west coast signal comes cia Rogers and guess what?

Last year that feed was Global HD and will probably be Global HD this year. No big deal though.

No big deal though - yeah, if you enjoy macroblocking, pixelation, audio dropouts, no 5.1, and missed plays - then Global HD is the best choice by far. They are experts when it comes to inferior simsubs.

...sooo, as long as we don't watch CBS-HD West, we're good?

Yup. CBS out of Detroit is channel 282, so you will be fine. You may want to switch between the east and west coast feeds for sakes of comparision.

I was referring to the fact that you can watch Detroit HD and ignore the west coast feed.

Simpleton question - what are west coast feeds?

CBS 282 HD I've got, but I'm not sure what the other option might be?

Seattle, Washington contains the west coast HD feed. Not all Cogeco areas have all the HD channels available.
