NFL Network/HDTV question
Danny BoyŽ
format? Sure, I can change the setting to make it widescreen, but that
doesnt really make it wide screen. Comcast has the 800's set for the HDTV
stations and NFL is on 265....should there/is there an "800" channel for NFL
Network?

Is it in wide format on those channels? If so, why not on 265.....or 715 for
that matter?

I wouldnt say that "NFL Network is on HDTV," since channel 265 isn't
HD.
Sometimes, they play the Game of the Week on 882, in HD widescreen, and
it looks great.
Hopefully they'll come out with an 865 or something with it always in
HDTV, but it isnt right now.

I agree....but they claim they are....maybe its just Comcast not having them
in HD?

if any, carry the HD channel. However, in Atlanta and some comcast markets,
the HD feeds of the Game of the Week episodes are shown on INHD2.

Yup, it sounds to me like DirectTV is one of the few that carry NFL
Network in HD all the time.
Comcast airs Game of the Week on the INHD2 channel every now and then.

Many of the cable networks (ESPN, NFL Network, TNT, AMC,etc.) have a high
def channel. They will advertise that they are in HD. You cable provider may
not be carrying the HD signal because they do not want to pay for it as part
of their HD lineup. Eventually the cable companies will carry a majority of
HD channels as they become more prevalent. For right now they are a premium
channel and thus cost extra.
So the short answer is that the NFL Network is in HD, but you are not
receiving it on 265 because Comcast doesn't want to pay.

I don't think they do. On DirecTV, the NFL Network is 212, which is not HD
at all. The Game of the Week broadcasts are on the 90s channels.
I could be wrong. I really haven't watched NFL Network in a while. NFL All
Access got old real fast.

I called Comcast in late July to ask them what there plans were for
carrying NFLHD and I just kept getting the run-around about their great
nfl line-up for the preseason/season, yada, yada. The guy didn't get
it. I told him for the record, I wanted it. That's pretty much where
it ended. A phone call to show interest on your part couldn't hurt.
You can always throw in the "DirectTV carries it, why don't you?" For
the record, I got comcast HD for last year's SB and in the year since
they have added at least 4 or 5 HD channels. I'm in the manchester, nh
area and Discovery HD (839) has by far the most consistent, best HD
pictures. Anything originally filmed for IMAX is great. If you
appreciate nature, "sunrise earth" (7am) makes for nice background noise
over breakfast. Enjoy your whole new world of TV.

PS - Don't even get me started on the wonders of DVR. It has
revolutionized the way I watch TV. A must have if you have small children.
