Superbowl in HD?

[GeoffGK6]

So I know this is a couple of weeks away, but I don't get my local stations in HD and am too far away for OTA to be an option. Will E* show the Superbowl on any national HD station? Or is my only option to see the game in HD to "move"?

 

[ripnbigc]

Yep.

 

[goaliebob99]

Yep.

Dont know if they can do this any more as the whole distant nets thing kind of kills this. Sence Echostar cant provide distant networks to any one. I dont think they can provide you a feed from an abc another abc affliate, unless your local station agrees to it. it doesnt matter what the feed is. They have to follow those carrage agreements, and im sure the FCC would be pissed off as their the ones who ordered this in the first place.

NFL HD may be showing it as a replay several time, but probably not live.

OUCH....

I totally spaced that ABC here in SaltLake City is NOT HD.... OTA either...

Hmmm... time to go email the tv station here... KTVX Channel 4...

I thought it was on Fox this year. If it's on ABC I'm all set since that's the only OTA station I can get, but can anyone confirm the network?

[phonegunner]

OK BOB.. now ya got me ...

But still gotta get ABC to get with it ...

Thanks for the clarification....

If you are getting [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']strechovison on fox it must be your local station.
Fox in Pittsburgh is fine.[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']TNT and TBS are another story[/FONT]

OTA FOX in Flint, Lansing and Detroit are fine as well!

I was very happy this year to see that Fox was covering it this year. Our CBS..... is uhh... bit starve jones!

 

[Dveldh]

FoxHD in Fargo, ND-Moorhead, MN is perfect OTA.

 

[Paradox-SJ]

Yeah and the FOX affiliate here is San Jose/San Fran bay area is really good too.

 

[ripnbigc]

Fox OTA is great here also, no subchannels.

 

[gbjbany]

No FOX in HD via dish in Sac so that sucks ! :-(

Word up! Fox has the best quality broadcast in my DMA followed by ABC, CW, & MY Net. CBS blurs out every 5 seconds during any sporting event but, NBC is still Macroblocking king supreme.

 

[drdroo]

No FOX in HD here either, just SD Digital as a subchannel on the ABC feed.
