+1

Today was awesome, with the 4 channels. And each score scrolling and showing what channel each game is on, gives you the capability of switching to any game you want whenver you want.

I think of almost like it better the old way, which doesn't really make sense.

I hate that Tru channel because I don't get it. It is much better though even though I won't be able to see Tennessee play tomorrow.

Yea, that would suck.

Luckily I get all 4 in HD. This is sooo much better than the previous years.

Definitely prefer having full game coverage as opposed to CBS switching for me.

Let me decide what to watch.

I've been watching them all on the regular channels and TRUtv is probably one of the clearer ones. The CBS channel color has been kind of off

I think it is just your imagination. The past few years, it seemed in the earlier stages, they'd:

ride one game until a TV timeout,
air the commercials,
come back to the game they were originally showing,
go to another game that was due a TV timeout on the next clock-stoppage.


Maybe that was my imagination, but it seemed to happen too often to be a coincidence.

I like it. I've set all 4 channels as favorites on my remote. Makes flipping around so much easier.

Cool. I didn't know that Tru had an HD version. We don't get it in HD here in Baton Rouge, but as one poster earlier said, it is one of the clearer regular channels.

I agree with this.. They should put Anthony on another channel...

KS is Anthony with more personality

its okay,taking a while to get used to.

Don't care for Smith and Barkley in the studio,though. Wish it were still the original CBS crew. I know this isn't a courtroom or emergency room, but Barkely yuks it up too much.

Haven't watched much on TV so far, but I LOVE what I've seen so far. I've always loved TNT's coverage of the NBA on Thursday nights so them doing the tourney is even better. I don't think there's anyone on the TNT NBA crew that I don't like.

The iPhone app that allows you to watch the games is golden, too. Makes the time go by much quicker at work.

I love the new coverage. I get TNT, Tru, and TBS in HD......

For some reason, Time Warner does not have CBS HD down here.
