It's going to matter when the NCAA tournament rolls around next month. TruTV is part of the new TBS / CBS TV contract that the NCAA signed last year. My guess is that D* is going to have the dedicated channels 701-705 to cover the games in HD and you won't have to neccessarily tune to the TBS/TNT/TRU station for the game. Similar to D*'s major tennis and golf coverage and somewhat similar to the old MegaMarchMadness package but with no fee.
yes, but D* has carriage of the signal in HD, for the Masters and Golf (usually via CBS). TruTV isn't carried, and I'm guessing Turner won't just "give it to them for the tournament." It's a major bargaining chip, maybe their only one for this channel.
So, it's official, TruTV is going to have games for the "first round" (the new one), as well as the Thu-Sat set of games:
Turner, CBS to televise all NCAA tournament games nationally - Richard Deitsch - SI.com
OK, DirecTV, the ball is in your court now. GET THIS CHANNEL.

NBA on TNT is the best NBA broadcast as it is. I don't really put ESPN's MLB broadcasts ahead of TBS, the only thing I dislike on TBS is pitchtrax.
Satelliteracer announced on February 18th that TruTV HD IS NOT going to happen in time for March Madness.
You can now get to planning where you're going to go to see some or all of the 13 games TruTV will carry.

I thought I heard that the channel may not be live but D may be carrying the games in HD on one of their channels?

You can search the "anticipation" thread for posts containing the keyword TruTV from Satelliteracer.
I'll save most people the pain of going there - it's a D* lovefest, as usual.
The ongoing failure of D* to successfully negotiate national HD channels is getting embarrassing.

There may be hope for all games in HD
I read this late last night at NCAA Tournament on TruTV HD Channels by Provider | HD Sports Guide. Look at comment #4. It appears that DTV will be having a mix channel for the ncaa tourney. It says all four games in HD. It is not clear if it means just on the mix channel or if we can go directly to those games in HD.

It's being added in HD on my cable system that's where it is.
D* not going to happen.

lol, as if it would matter if you have SD or HD when it takes up only a quarter of the screen. I am seriously wondering if D* thinks this is a suitable way to watch a game?
