Proud Staff MemberFOX-ED: MLB: All-Star Game (LIVE) SD 480i, WideScreen 480p, HD 720P? 8pm Tonight
ADVERTS 1
The title says it all. According to AVSforum, Fox will be doing the game in HD but it will depend whether local affiliates are ready to get the HD signal. Report here if you are getting the program in any of the three above format with location and station.

Proud Staff MemberI read in another thread that there are some rumors that some affiliate might be able to pass the HD feed. Not holding my breath for it...

If it's not in HD, how can Houston get it in HD? Enquiring minds want to know.

Proud Staff MemberWhat AVSforum has said was that it will be produced in HD at Houston but that it will be only distribute to Houston as HD. Everyone else in the country will not get the HD feed because they are not HD ready yet. Originally Posted by DarrellP

However, Dan Bell, vice president of media relations for Fox Sports, told TVPredictions.com
Tuesday morning that the game would be shown in high-def. Speaking from Houston, the site
of the game, Bell said: "It will be a test broadcast before we start showing the NFL in HDTV in
September."
Bell said tonight's broadcast of the All-Star game will be in 720p and it can be seen in high-def
on all Fox stations that have the "proper equipment."

Fox to Air Baseball's All-Star Game in HDTV
Tonight's broadcast marks the network's 2004 high-def debut.
By Phillip Swann
Washington, D.C. (July 13) -- The Fox Network will broadcast tonight's All-Star Baseball
game in High-Definition TV, TVPredictions.com has learned. The broadcast will be the first
high-def offering from Fox, other than a special presentation of the film Independence Day
three years ago.
Since Fox has not issued a press announcement confirming that the game will be in high-def,
many HDTV enthusiasts have concluded that Fox would wait until the Fall before offering
programs in high-def. The network said last year that it would begin broadcasting at least 50
percent of its 2004-2005 primetime lineup in high-def, beginning in the Fall. Fox is the last
major broadcast network to offer programs in HDTV. NBC, ABC, PBS and CBS have been
airing primetime shows and sporting events in high-def for a few years.
However, Dan Bell, vice president of media relations for Fox Sports, told TVPredictions.com
Tuesday morning that the game would be shown in high-def. Speaking from Houston, the site
of the game, Bell said: "It will be a test broadcast before we start showing the NFL in HDTV in
September."
Bell said tonight's broadcast of the All-Star game will be in 720p and it can be seen in high-def
on all Fox stations that have the "proper equipment."

TULSA, Okla., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Vyvx, a market leader in providing
fiber-optic and satellite transmission solutions to the media and
entertainment industry for 15 years, announced today that it will be providing
the broadcast backhaul of the 2004 Major League Baseball All-Star Game from
Minute Maid Park in Houston.
Vyvx will provide both standard definition and high definition (HDTV)
feeds from Minute Maid Park, enabling various broadcasters to deliver the game
to millions of end viewers domestically and internationally.
"When it comes to the most highly viewed live events, Vyvx continues to be
the broadcasters' provider of choice, and the Major League Baseball All-Star
Game is no exception," said Derek Smith, vice president of Vyvx. "This is the
tenth consecutive year that we've carried the All-Star Game, which is a
testament to the quality and reliability of our services and vast experience
with terrestrial video transmission that others in the industry can't
duplicate."
Vyvx's history and experience providing transmission services for video is
unmatched -- it was the first company to backhaul a video feed over fiber in
1989 and to transmit a live broadcast event over a fiber-optic network in
1990. In early 2004, Vyvx provided the first ever backhaul of a live HDTV
feed over an MPLS infrastructure -- the Super Bowl(R). Vyvx currently
provides broadcast transmission services for nearly 10,000 live sports events
per year. Overall, Vyvx provides nearly 200,000 video feeds for its customers
annually, transmitting more than 12 million video minutes. For more
