College Game Plan

[Cameron3395]

Are these games in HD? The channels don't have the HD emblem on them. That sucks if so.

 

[Mr Tony]

I think they're in SD only

looking at the pickens today about 1/2 the games are in SD only to begin with

 

[Cameron3395]

Thank you for the info. $30 for one game and it's in SD. WOW!

 

[Mr Tony]

from your avatar you a razorback fan?

If so the Arkansas game is in SD only from ARSN PPV

 

[Cameron3395]

Yes, thank you very much. I just chatted with Dish and they told me it would be in HD if I had a hd receiver which I do. I specifically asked if the game on channel 458 would be in HD and they said yes. Hope they aren't trying to rip me off cause I don't want it if not in HD.

Well since channel 458 is an SD channel it is not possible for it to be HD on that channel. I just did a search through the channels and I don't see this being in HD anywhere. I think you're screwed.

 

[sam_gordon]

Keep in mind if the game isn't produced in HD, Dish can't put it up in HD. Not every game is done in HD.

 

[Cameron3395]

I know that but if you read the chat they told me it would be in HD but the channel doesn't list it.

 

[lakebum431]

Yeah, they are smoking crack

I've had ESPN Full-Court the last few years for basketball and have NEVER gotten a game in HD. I would suggest signing up for the Multi Sports Package for $5.99 a month. I just did last week mainly for NFL Red-Zone, but I'm loving it today with all the football games available, many of which are in HD. I will definitely keep it for the basketball season and forgo ESPN Full-Court. Just my $0.02.

 

[Mr Tony]

The game isnt being produced in HD so how can Dish get it in HD?

 

[Mr Tony]

its showing on Dish 459 for everyone except the PPV group and 458 for the "PPV" group

 

[lakebum431]

That's my point Ice. They gave him bad information in the chat.

 

[sethwell]

Sorry fellow arkansan, but we are in SD today. the person on chat doesn't know much, i ordered it yesterday on my 722 and then remembered that since i used the remote i wouldn't be able to view on the other receiver i have. so i went to chat and they were told me that i would only be able to view it on the receiver i purchased it on, but if i ordered it online then it would available to all receivers. i thought that was retarded so i sent a twitter to dish and they told me that i could just order it on the other receiver and it would not double charge me. i believe twitter is my new go to for customer service, not quite as quick but the people there are much more in the know. well less than three hours to kickoff, gotta go get the grill ready.

GO HOGS!! WHOOO PIG SOOIE!!!

 

[Mr Tony]

game is in SD only.....confirmed

 

[Cameron3395]

I agree, caught some division II football in HD VIA the sportspack, its a nice deal with ESPN, ESPN2, locals, ABC night game and a sprinkle of Sportspack games during college football season its a nice assortment of games

I agree! I got my Platinum charges off my bill and added the Sports Package. Very pleased so far and am looking forward to the Red zone
