NBA League Pass - Why so few games in HD?

[cb4774]

I'm a big Lakers fan and I'm contemplating purchasing League Pass, however I have one major concern...the lack of games in HD. Tonight for example, only the game shown in HD is on NBATV (Cleveland @ Phoenix). I know that FSN West broadcasts Lakers games in HD, just curious if anyone knows why Dish isn't showing them (and other games) in HD when they are available.

Thanks.

They had a few HD games on the other day, but none last night.

Yeah it seems like you will get more HD games if you have D* instead of E*. They have more HD games listed in their NBALP schedule. You will also get the YES HD games, which E* seems to only show the SD version. Kinda sucks if you ask me.

ya i noticed it too. the other day there was 13 total nba games one night but only 2 in HD.

btw here's the league pass schedule.

League Pass SD Schedule

League Pass HD Schedule

Oct 31 to Nov 14
SD: 101
HD: 16

I was going to get the league pass too thinking I would be able to see more HD. but screw this.

Yeah, I don't think I will be getting LP either. I was thinking about it b/c I don't have a local NBA team, so no blackouts for me. With the addition of NBA TV HD (and the games on ESPN, ABC, and TNT), I think that will be enough NBA HD for me.

I was thinking about ordering LP this year, but changed my mind because of the limited HD and my limited time

Good thing there are so many available NBAHD channels listed in the guide; according to the schedule the most HD games on any one night in November is three. Looks like I'll skip LP this year.

problem is E* does not have YES-HD, NESN-HD, MSG-HD, FSN-NY HD and FSN-Bay Area HD, so that's alot of HD games that Dish will not have in League Pass.

NESN doesn't carry any NBA games.

Every Suns game will be in HD this year!

What's the deal with local RSN's only showing NBA and MLB team's home games in hd? I know that the home teams are broadcasting in hd, so why can't they do it as well. Every game, home or away, should be in hd, PERIOD!

NESN doesn't carry any NBA games.

CSNNE HD does, but of course E* doesn't carry it either....

Well, today there are 2 games in HD: Spurs @ Rockets and Nuggets @ Knicks.
