ESPN is going HD
« on: October 03, 2002, 05:56:22 PM »
Some of you care.

Next year starting in April ESPN will begin broadcasting in HD.  They will be doing many live events including their Sunday night football.

This along with MNF going back to HD again next year makes me a happy old fart.

Sopranos is sweet in hi def.  You don\'t realize how much you lose when they crop shows down to 4:3.  Every show is like that.  I remember watching the show 24 on 2 different sets, onw wide and one regular and it was funny how they crop people out and crap. Just like movies and P&S.


ESPN won\'t be availble till Spring, but damn this is what will drive people to converting over.  Watching college football in hi def every week it\'s unbelievable how shitty the NFL looks on Sunday.

Hey Kirath, Here is a good list of HD Programming

This does not include of course HDNet, Discovery HD, HBO-HD, nor Showtime-HD
