Universal Sports in HD anywhere?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Does anyone know if Universal Sports is available in high definition with any service providers? I been searching around but can't find anyone who gets it in HD. I was reading this article and it says there is a free preview going on with Directv, but it says they only have the channel in SD. But, when I look at the Wikipedia page for Universal Sports (owned by NBC) it says they do broadcast in HD (1080i). So who gets it in HD? I also tried getting it in HD over-the-air but it only showed up in standard-def.

Bend Broadband actually added it in BOTH HD & SD sometime ago on ch 645/45:

But you're right, NOT too many providers are carrying it in HD; neither sat provider carries it in HD, either...

When NBC bought them, a lot, or most, of the broadcasters went away. I was picking up the channel for a year or two OTA from a small station in NH.

yeah someone at satelliteguys said they stopped OTA a year ago. Sucks cause the channel has good programming that would look great in HD.
