I've always been disappointed by the lack of any HD channels on the
many Mohegan HD TV's. HD was added recently at the Feather (Chinese)
lounge, but not all the bartenders know enough put it on. HD has
been available with the satellite feed on big screens on the 33rd,
but similar lack of knowledge by the patrons typically showed the old
analog feeds. No HD on the big Dell TV's in the upper Sky suites
(24th on up).
Anyway, met Jim Weiss today, lead Tech for this kind of stuff.
Here's the deal:
- HD is on 10 channels, beginning at 100.
- Lounges are up, Sachem (the rock) was just installed today.
- By May, the rooms should be up.
- Bubba's (my favorite) will switch their Direct TV feed over in May,
using the Mohegan feed.
For sports junkies like myself, HD provides superior video. But
assume that the non-techies (nearly all of the Mohegan staff) will
forget what they were briefed on and continue to select the old
channels. So if you want HD, you might politely suggest they switch
to channel 100+. I know for sure ESPN and ESPN2 are on the Mohegan
HD feed.
