ISU in HD

['Clones Fan]

I will finally get to see us play in HD!
I live in Minneapolis, but I get ESPN Full Court. I havent gotten to watch a lot of the non-conference games, but it looks like every conference game is on the schedule.

Are many of the games down in the Des Moines/Ames market on HD or do you usually have to settle for regular programming?

I am pretty sure the game is not in HD tonight.

It is on ESPN, why wouldn't it be in HD?

Game is NOT in HD. Not sure why, but there is no HD box in the guide on DTV for this program.

 

[A-town Cy]

Because it's not listed as being in HD.

HD Sports Guide - HDTV Sports Listings & News

And on ESPN's schedule its not HD either.

Sadly, ESPN doesn't do all their games in HD.

 

[C.John]

It was stated in a different thread that our game was NOT in HD, even though whatever game on ESPN2 was going to be in HD.

 

[keepngoal]

well that is just plain stupid.

['Clones Fan]

Great, well at least I know now instead of waiting all day expecting it and then not getting to see it in High Def.

 

[wonkadog]

To answer your other question, no, most of the other "Big XII Network" games are not in HD either.

...and unless Direct TV is different than cable, Full Court games are never in HD. At least they weren't with Comcast in Seattle.

Standard def is an abomination. =)

The camera's at Hilton need to be HD first.

The camera's at Hilton need to be HD first.

So are you saying that this is more of an issue with Hilton and hte cameras that we provide, rather than ESPN of whatever other channel ISU games appear on?

 

[ISUFan22]

The camera's at Hilton need to be HD first.

First, this game is in Lawrence, so that doesn't matter for this game.

Second, it's not the Hilton cameras (to the best of my knowledge), it's what ESPN decides to bring with them for that game.

 

[CycloneGizzard]

when the game is not broadcast in HD, I find that helps to squint at the TV for the whole first half of the game. Then, after halftime, I open my eyes fully and the increase in picture quality can sometimes trick you into thinking it's HD. Give it a try, but try not to get slapped in the back during the first half. Peace to all.

 

[wonkadog]

Yeah, I'm sure it's the network bringing in the cameras that's the issue. The HD isn't decided by what venue games are played at.

Hmmm...you'd think the #2 team in the country would warrant HD. Time for the Big 12 commish to get in someone's ear...

I agree.

- keep.

 

[superdorf]

Correct me if I am wrong... But I believe ESPN has carried us in HD when we have been home before...
