evilmrt 636 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 Is anyone trying to watch Versus-HD only to find that everything is squished? Or am I the only one? Anyway, for anyone having the same problem, I just used the p.size feature on my Samsung hdtv and set it to "wide-fit" and it MOSTLY fixed the problem. Some idiot at VS hit the wrong button and they're broadcasting 4:3 (square) HD. lol. Have fun with FSN, everyone back home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I LOVE listening to these complete tools. Versus is blacked out for me because I'm local to FS-Ohio. I'm guessing the same thing is true for you, which is why you have wrestling or MMA or whatever on there. Mine just has a message on the screen, but I'm guessing that kind of stuff is set by the provider. I was excited because I thought I'd at least avoid the drooling idiots for games 1, 3, 5 and 7, but now I'm thinking I'm stuck for the duration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladyfan 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 To be fair, we watch a TON of games, and the Columbus announcers are not that bad. Sure, they talk up their team, but they are not like Nashville or some of those horrible teams. With Center Ice, I have seen about all of it, and understand how GOOD announcers should be. GO WINGS!

Respectfully disagree, IMO Nashville and Columbus stand alone as the worst. Right as I type that, drooling idiots take a dump on our fans for leaving early.

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =] I feel you man. Those guys are bad. I can't stand listening to them. I was happy about the comment about Osgood in pre-game. I knew right then he was going to play a great game. It's a shame the Danny Gare (color analyst) was a former captain of this great team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, the answer to a Wings trivia question as the captain immediately before Yzerman. He interviewed Stevie during the 1st intermission, and I said to my gf "can you believe they were teammates?" She was like "what, really?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Kingdom 4 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 If you have a local feed like Fox Sports Ohio, you are not going to get the national game on Versus. Oh really? Then why was the game on here on both FSD and Vs? But the strangest thing was that on Uverse, they had the regular Wings coverage with Redmond and Daniels on FSD-SD but, on FSD-HD, they were showing the Fox Sports Ohio coverage with Reimer and Gare.

C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 After thinking about it a little, I think it's always the newer markets that go over the top with the homerishness. Why? Because they're trying to sell the team in an area still deciding whether they want to buy. I had this epiphany during the 3rd period, when all those guys said was basically: 1. The Jackets took it to the Wings early. 2. Hitch is a great coach and will make adjustments. 3. All we need is a split in Detroit and we'll have done what we need to do. 4. Rinse and repeat about 17 times. The translation to all that is "please, please, please tune in on Saturday...and buy tickets for games 3 and 4 while you're at it." More established teams do stuff like that too, but the newer ones take it to another level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
