Dish Network: Clip Games NOT in HD?

Why is this a fanpost and not a fanshot?

Well because it's pretty darn important to me and I'm sure it is to true Clipper fans with Dish here in LA.

The last preseason game was supposed to be in HD but it didn't show up that way on my Dish guide. I figured it must be because it's preseason.

But as I looked to tomorrow night's game, I see that once again it's not on the HD channel. Anyone else seeing this too?

Didn't Ralph say that all Clips games would be in beautiful HD on Fox Sports??????

Anyone have the game tomorrow night in HD? What do you have? Comcast? Charter? U-Verse? DirectTV?

If you're on Dish and you got the last preseason game in HD AND you're getting the Phoenix home opener in HD please let me know so I can complain to DIsh to see if I can get that feed.

If DIsh is only gonna show Clips games in SD I might have to think about switching to someone else, even though I like their DVR the best...

Please share your HD experiences in the comments below.

Thanks!

I have direct Tv...

and it was in HD on TNT. In addition to that, I watched all the preseason games in HD. I was recently debating on Direct TV or Dish… it looks like I made the right choice. I hope things work out for you… analog sucks.

I have Dish

I live in Illinois, so I have to have satelite. If you have NBA League pass then there are a select few each night. If you go to dishnetwork.com and click on sports you will see the channel listing and what games are in HD for the month.

It really all depends on if they choose a Clipper game to be on in HD.

If they are on ESPN or TNT, you should be able to see those games on ESPNHD and TNTHD.

Also FIOS

Not a fan of the DVR, but the picture is great as is the internet connection if you’re looking to bundle.

I have Directv and TBS is in HD but I mute it and listen to the Game on AM980.

I also shined the Fakers Ring deal.

Thanks for the feedback guys

Called Dish and they said select Clipper games would not be in HD this year. I guess they only have so much bandwidth to beam out HD channels and the Clips are low on the totem pole.

Sigh.

Might have to sign back up for sucky U-Verse just for Clips in HD. I don’t know if it’s worth it just to get a couple more games in HD…
