About freakin' time. I'm guessing DirecTV was getting nervous with the NHL playoffs around the corner.

woot! now I have to call and cancel my installation for AT&T's Uverse. no, I'm not kidding. I went to my local ATT store this weekend and set it up! :lol: :lol:

Now those with Direct TV can complain with the rest of us with the terrible washed out HD quality and awful intermission reports.

why is the pregame show not on versus? Website says coverage starts at 630, i'm assuming hockey central..yet here I sit watching 'wacked out sports' or some garbage show of some idiot wrecking his crotchrocket. ugggh

heres a little blurb from thepensblog.com that i thought was appropriate

I never, ever, ever thought I’d say this, but as a DirecTV subscriber, it’s nice to have Versus back in time for the playoffs. I kind of like this arrangement, actually. I like my DirecTV service so I didn’t want to switch. So thanks to their little spat with Versus/Comcast this year, I spent about 75% of the regular season not having to worry about accidentally flipping past asstastic Versus broadcasters making another Monday night Rangers-Flyers game worse than it already was. And now with just a few weeks left before the playoffs, Versus comes back into my life as if to say, “We got you for playoff hockey, OK, Stoosh? We know our broadcasts are Sega Genesis quality, our studio looks like it was built in your basement and Beninati’s voice sounds like he’s gargling with a bucketful of gravel. But the intensity of playoff hockey often overrides the audio torture.” Maybe…just maybe, Versus, we can make this work, you and I.

:-D

I've never had bad quality HD anything with Directv. I do notice though when I go to a friend's house to watch the game and they have cable the HD picture isn't near as nice. can't do anything about the intermission reports other than change the channel. :)

Funny how people that listen to fox sports Pittsburgh complain about versus.

I watch Versus in HD and it looks great to me. Better that FSSW that the normal Stars games are on in HD. No issue there or with the set. I've never had an issue with Versus though, not like some people on here.
