NBA tv.Channel 402-new hd channel??

[tigerfan33]

I just looked and I think I just got a new hd channel. Channel 402. NBA TV. I do not get the sd, the hd only. Not sure if we will get it all season or not. When I click on the sd version it says you have to subscribe to it. I have the 250 package. Anyone else seeing this???

You can see NBATVHD and you have AT250? Cool.

You don't have AEP or the Sportspack??

Could be tied into the League Pass free preview. Although if that were the case I'd suspect it would be the SD channel also.

Good point. Although you would think the 560 channel would be the one attached to LP.

this looks like a new channel add. it is listed in last weeks uplink report here:

There are two HD channels in reguards to NBA, NBA League Pass on 560 and NBA tv on 402. They are both in the 95xx's and are being mapped down.

I have the AT250 as well and I just saw this channel I guess it's not tied to the League Pass since there's another one that says LP required..

Good to see this is on! The only thing I don't like is the scrolling background on the 4:3 picture. Oh well, it's better than stretch-o-vision.

 

[PhilAce]

So far, only the commercials are in stretch-o-vision.

I'm getting Ch. 402 and I only have AT200.

Probably being made available for awhile to try and get you to get you to sign up for NBA League Pass.

Probably being made available for awhile to try and get you to get you to sign up for NBA League Pass.

.... or to sign up for the Multi-sports pack for 5.99 which I have!

 

[Mike4HDTV]

NBA TV: Season Preview is in HD right now. It's on from 7 - 9pm. The PQ looks very good.

I'm glad to see some HD on this channel unlike NHL HD which I have yet to see any HD shows.

 

[PhilAce]

Yeah the PQ is good.

 

[tigerfan33]

Does anyone know if we will have this channel all season or is this just a feeby thing like they did for the hockey package for about a week???

 

[Muckrak3r]

I have AT100+ and I am getting 402HD too.... we'll see how long it lasts.

 

[dishbd]

NBATV-HD looks very nice! (especially compared to the SD version - major pixelation) I am a League Pass subscriber and was excited to see that the 402 HD channel was active for me. Channel 560, which is the one that LP subscribers get, does not have program guide information right now so that's why I was glad to see that I could get the 402 one. But it looks like everyone is getting it right now, so I'm sure eventually it will get shut off. Hopefully they will eventually put in the programming guide info for 560 as well!

 

[Walter L.]

Cool!!! A lot of games in HD. I've always subscribed to the multi-sports package just for the SD version.
