Any chance DirecTV will show these games in HD like they showed NFL Network's Game of the Week last year?

Is there a schedule anywhere of which NFL games (if any) will be broadcast by major OTA networks in HD? I want to watch my Super-Bowl Bound Bengals in HD (OTA only).

Just checked D* on line web site guide, for this Saturday, they don't show either of the games in HD, just the regular NFL Network.

the hd quality of the bucs/titans game is very poor. i am watching it on local tampa nbc.

 

[BFG]

Hmm that contradicts this guy

he thought it looked pretty good.

I wish I could at least watch it to be a judge. Hopefully dish will have nfl hd running and in a package I have so I can see the replay tuesday

"I have to take back a little of my praise. Overall very good; but there looks like they maybe one camera has condensation on the lens, and there have been some focus issues with other cameras. Still, when its focused properly, its extremely sharp. Not a bad effort for the first local HD broadcast in Tampa, but they've got a little work to do with their cameramen (at least I think that's the issue)."

if this is the post you are referring to, i agree. they cut way to many times to the bad camera and if there is a big action sceen it looks like a poor transfer. it looks great if their is no action, but i believe if it is in hd, then there should be not lose of quality, and in this game their is. alot of it. however, go bucs.

I see the game was scrambled, is it part of the ST-HD package? I thought it was part of the NFL network and would be available to anyone that has the D* HD package.

 

[BFG]

It seems that way, looks to be another oneof D*s tricks.

I would've thought it would've been available to everyone sicne the regular NFL Network is in TC

[BFG]

WNBC will be showing a browns/giants game at 8:00PM ET so if you have that distant from D* you should be able to watch that

 

[dfergie]
