Dish does not carry NESNHD.

Dish doesn't carry the NESN-HD feed. They carry select games in HD but nothing full time like NESN - HD

NESN HD is INHD. Its on Comcast and very unlikely that its going to come to E* or D* in the near future.

NESN HD is not INHD. That's just the channel comcast puts it on in boston.

NESN-HD is now available as a full time 24/7 channel for providers to carry.

Well I stand corrected. Now WTF lets get NESN HD on D* and E*. Its time to unite and stand as one! Any suggestions on how to go about this?

Your in a long line buddy... I want my Comcast sports net chicago in hd !!!! allready a full time hd channel here on comcast

I will say that the NESN channel (434) does look better this year or maybe it was just that they actually won an opening day game. It isn't HD but if they do the widescreen wednesday thing this year it should look good even in SD.

Go Sox.

I suspect that we're going to have to wait for DISH to complete the current series of adding HD network affiliates to local markets (at least the top 50) before it turns its attention to RSN's like NESN in HD. I imagine satellite capacity is an issue.

I got this from NESN:

Dear Dish Network Customer:

NESN appreciates your interest in our high definition coverage of the
Red Sox and Bruins home games. NESN and Dish Network have discussed
carriage of these HD games. However, I have no information to offer at
this time.

We will save your email and notify when more information is available
about Dish Network distributing NESN's HD game coverage.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Keisha Hall
Customer Relations

I would think that even if they would offer this, anyone outside of the Boston area would be blacked out of all Sox games. I know when I had the RSN package from Dish...all MLB and NBA games were blacked out...so I dropped it.

I'm a Red Sox fan down here in New Orleans and would love to see them in HD whenever they were on....but I doubt that will ever happen.

The live games are blacked out but replays aren't. Plus NESN has plenty of shows in HD. Pre and post game for both teams and sportsdesk are all in HD. Soon Charlie Moore will be HD

 

[james_k_p]

Yeah, but I'm not into all of that post and pre game stuff. And I never watch anything replayed. I'm a live-only type of guy.

I suppose eventually all the subscription sports passes you can buy will all be HD one day. That would probably definitely seduce me and cause me to finally get it. For now I'll just watch it on my PC with the MLB.tv $15/month plan.
