Re: New HD Channels?

R-

The only 1 I know of is NBA TV HD - which is to be on by the time next season begins.

CBS CS stated in their PR that VZ would carry the HD feed "sometime in 2009" - but I have not heard any whispers on that, nor on any of the other channels you listed.

At this point I'm only waiting for the Cartoon Network. Verizon has provided everything but the NFL Ticket at this point. I would like to see the NBA and NHL packages in HD though.

NFL Ticket is exclusive to DirecTV, the contract was just renewed.
NBA / NHL in HD to me would be a waste of bandwidth unless they could do these IP based. But, considering InDemand does not carry all the games in HD anyway it is a moot point.

It's only a waste of bandwidth since you don't want them. I'm sure 90% of the other people here would rather see those channels in HD then the .tv channels, Tennis HD, Mav Tv or YES.

Please say they will have NBA League Pass as well

No, it is a waste of bandwidth to carry them in HD because they are part time stations that would require several QAMs.

And -- I completely agree with the stations you listed, I could care less about them as well, but at least they are full time stations (with the exception of YES, which I don't count since the point of the station is Yankees games which can't air outside of NY).

They aren't exactly full time stations when they rerun the same programming. The demand on the part time programming is higher then these.

Tennis Channel HD is probably the channel I watch the most. I could care less about the NBA Channel. The same basically goes for the NFL Network.

Again, it's a moot point because InDemand doesn't even offer them as HD feeds.

BTW, I would be the first to subscribe if Extra Innings was in all HD, but I still think it would be a waste of QAM space

It would be nice, but I am not holding my breath on this one. Especially after the last 2 years of promises (and especially with them adding it to the guide as a cruel joke a few months ago).

It's not entirely moot when Verizon can make their own deal like DTV.

InDemand has two HD services. Game HD (VZ VC#1474) is used for MLB/NHL coverage and Team HD is used for NBA/MLS coverage (will be on VZ VC#1489 for start of NBA season)...

NBA LP (ten SD services) along with the one corresponding HD service will be in place in time for next season...In fact, Team 6-10 are currently in use for MLS coverage...

Any guarantee we'll see NBA TV on 89/589 at the same time as the LP channels?

Matt,

I don't see it on the radar for now but tipoff is a ways off. Do you know if NBA TV will carry live games like NFL Network? Ask me again as season draws nearer and I will have a better idea...
