great news, if you don’t have hdnet you should get it alot of mma going on there.
“We want to be considered one of the top events in the country. In order to compete at that level, we have to have a television deal.”
Maybe if they want to be one of the top events, they should of signed with a network that is available in more than 20% of the homes in this country.
At least Showtime is available no matter what cable service provider your have.
call your provider and complain, its a great mma network really a guys channel and the more it grows the more available it will be i am sure.
No doubt that its a great channel, but they are not getting as much exposure as they could be. Up until about a year and a half ago, I had Dish Network and had HDnet. When I switched to Comcast, they had HDnet as well. Then about 3 months later, the channel disappears. Trust me. My voice has been heard. lol
Damn HD!..
I dont have HD anything, let alone HDnet…
You dont know what your missing bro. I have over 100 channels HDnet is one of them. I always order the UFC in HD its the only way to watch.
so does this mean it’s not gonna be on ppv?
No $hit???
Frankly the card that they’ve talked about
wasn’t anywhere near PPV quality.
There sure have been quite a few MMA PPVs
in the past that weren’t worth being on PPV
and I look forward to that ending someday.
HDnet may be the solution to this someday.
THANK GOD (MARK CUBAN) I HAVE HDNET!! THE ONLY CHANNEL WITH THE MOST TELEVISED MMA PROMOTIONS HANDS DOWN TO MARK CUBAN!
where can u get this HDNET?? Is it a channel? and do they provide in Canaada??
Call Time Warner Cable to get a cable box or go to Sears. get the HD cable box (same price as getting a regular version) it works on regular tv too. you don’t need a hdtv to have hdnet it’s just for better graphics if you preferred, your regular tv might have the the 5 component inputs you may install a 5 wire component from tv to cable as you wish and put on component mode channel. for a true HD experience, get a HDTV included with HDMI wire and install tv to cable box with HDMI wire and go to HDMI mode channel. HDNet channel number is 1692, it will look more realistic and almost like 3-D. I don’t know about Warner Cable in Canada i’m unsure of other any other cable / satellite companies includes HDnet channel. Direct TV don’t have it is all i know. google cable/satellite companies around your area and call and ask them if their cable includes HDnet channel.
Get Directv, add the HD upgrade for $9.99 HDnet is ch 79. You dont know what your missing if you dont have HD. I order all the UFC in HD its the only way to see it.
I hate hdnet… yea they put alot of mma on there that woudnt make it on ppv or other channels, but if you dont have a hd telivision (which alot of people dont)you cant watch the shit… screw cuban
Lots of MMA on there. Shaw has it in Winnipeg, not sure about the rest of the country’s providers.
I personally love how much MMA I get on HDNet. There is almost alway a new show every Friday. Some of it is on a very low tier, but it is great to see up-and-commers before they get to the big promotions. Plus you get inside MMA with Bas and Kenny which is an okay show.
Directv Baby!
