HereComesTheReignAgain Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Anyone know where to go to find out if an upcoming game is in HD?

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 That is a great site, thanks. 829947[/snapback] but doesnt tell ya HD or not :-). I usually wait till DTV sends me weekly email, so far EVER Bills Game this year has been HD but early listing on DTV doesnt show it listed so could be first week without HD
Max997 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 quick google search and I found this site http://www.hdsportsguide.com/nfl.php

I have an antenna, so I would imagine if the game is broadcast in HD it wouldn't matter what DTV broadcasts. I don't get locals in HD with DTV yet.

stuckincincy Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 NFL TV maps. Bookmark this. 829933[/snapback] I wonder why north central and northwest Texas get treated to the CBS 1 PM NYJ at NE game instead of the rest of the state, that gets HOU at JAX. And a tiny island in northwest OH gets the 415 PM Fox STL at SEA game, unlike the rest of most other eastern states getting NO at PIT.

To wit, while Flutie was starting in Buffalo, the Boston station I get OTA would always air the Bills games when the time didn't conflict w/ NE's. I'm not sure of a Jets or Pats connection to Texas, tho. Perhaps the station just thinks it'll be a better-matched/exciting game. This choice scenario, however, requires there be no NFL local mandate for a viewing area, which seems kind of rare.
HurlyBurly51 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I thought the Detroit game was not in HD? 829997[/snapback] You are correct. Indy is in HD, but after that the Bills in HD might be slim pickings. I never would've guessed we'd be in HD for 8 of the first 9 games, especially considering no prime time games.

Through the years, I've been disappointed to see that an advertised game has been switched. Realizing that in that business, people move around and a lot, I chalked it up to somebody at that station having the ability to show a game he personally cares about. But somebody has posted here, info from an affiliate that said it's purely a decision from their bean-counter folks - whatever their formulas so to speak tell them what game will maximize their $$$. Dunno.

Can't blame them for following the American Way.
