I've always been fascinated with the different field and rules versus the NFL, so sometimes I like to watch CFL.


MSG+ (formerly FSN New York) is simulcasting the BC Lions at Toronto Argonauts via TSN in 4:3 SD. I'm pretty sure TSN is showing the game in HD. Are there any RSN's showing this game or any live in HD?


WorldSportHD (part of VOOM) used to simulcast many CFL games via TSN in HD.


EDIT: To make matters worse, MSG+ is also adding its own "bottom line crawl" and distorting the aspect ratio.

the picture on MSG+ is disgusting. Comcast Network in Philly has games also. much much better. don't think Comcast Network has HD though.

MSG+ sucks for HD programming. Stuff like SportsScience which are broadcast in HD are not shown in HD on MSG+. Terrible.

Here in the Chicago area CSN shows the games in SD.

all i can say is that all CFL games are broadcast in HD on TSN.

Comcast Sportsnet Mid-Atlantic is showing some of the games tape delayed, in really bad SD quality. It almost looks like it's a really bad recording on VHS tape.

Yep, and I watch 'em that way on my Shaw Direct (Star Choice) system. As to the original question, I haven't seen them in HD on any RSN here in the US. I imagine that TSN is asking extra $$ for the HD rights and the RSNs have decided their audience for the CFL games is too small to warrant paying.
