Assuming there will be an NFL season (?), will Shaw finally do it in HD? A few years ago, after I signed up, I found out it was SD and never watched it.
Last year 3 of the HD PPV channels were used for the NFLST. I doubt much will change until late next year with the launch of the new satellite. They do have the NFL RedZone in HD btw.
NFLST/NHLCI will require 6XX receivers this year. Signals will be MPEG4 HD only - no MPEG2 SD or HD feeds - except for those from stations already carried by Shaw.
