the mid-december date coincides with what elizabeth conlisk, vp of communications at the big ten network told me saturday night. i asked if directv had given her a specific date yet and she replied ``mid-september.'' and i see BTN is on the list as is golf/versus and food network. since directv has previewed MHD, i'm surprised its not on the first list.

TBS HD should be up soon as they have already committed to broadcasting baseball playoffs, starting in early october! plus, i hope their college football game of the week is also in hi-def.
