HtownBillsFan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Is anyone else having problems with Directv and Sabres games in HD? The first game was on the HD channel but games 2 and 3 have not been. It says something about it is unavailable. Are the games not being broadcasted in HD?

UnionAMG Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 When its on MSG... only home games are in HD. Away games are not on HD unless they are on NBC/VS or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would not be getting the away games in HD on cable either (I don't believe MSG HD is available at all on Fios or Dish). Â The Sabres have said "maybe next year" for away games in HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZC-Boston Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I haven't been able to catch any games yet, most of the away games last year were in HD on the opponent's feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be true if you had Center Ice and did not live in the Buffalo area. Those CI games (opponent feed) I believe are blacked out here as MSG has exclusive regional broadcast rights.

EZC-Boston Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Stupid me, assuming we were talking CI and not local to Buffalo, thanks for straightening me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I was "straightening you out" I was simply explaining to anyone reading the thread that "your results may very" depending upon how you watch the game.
