Dish has added NBA TV HD on channel 9508(402). They also designated an HD channel for League Pass subs on 9509(560). The feed is breaking up big time atm and had no sound when I first tuned in.

When I checked they were interviewing Alan Iverson courtside. The pic was 4:3 with branded sidebars like ESPN except busier. The sound showed as 5.1 but the feed wasn't. There was nothing coming from the rears so I suppose it was stereo.

great!! but don't they usually show nba tv hd games on HDNET? good to the channel though!

those side bars are cool looking,

this morning on the nba tv:season preview was HD and not 4:3

No. HDNet has some Mavs games in the Dallas area.

Are you thinking of INHD (now Mojo)? They picked up the NBA TV HD games last season, but there's no word or (given what happened to their MLB games of the week) reason to be optimistic they will be picked up again this season.

So do we get this channel if we are HD package subscribers, or do you also have to subscribe to the multi-sport package to get it a la the SD version?

This is really great news!!! A lot of games in HD this season:
