Title: I see the A&M game is on ESPN...
Post by: kougar24 on January 14, 2008, 03:39:14 PM
...Is it a national broadcast? Is there even such a thing as a regional ESPN game?

National. 
Regional ESPN broadcasts are handled by ESPNU and ESPN+. 
Anything on ESPN is national.

Awesome, thanks. I thought that was how it worked, but I didn't want to assume anything.

Nope.  Just because it's broadcast on ESPNHD doesn't mean the game itself will be broadcast in HD.  Any game on ESPN will be broadcast on ESPNHD.  The game will be broadcast on ESPNHD in SD.

Pessimism runs rampant on K-State boards these days, but yours is by far the most annoying, because you try too hard to be so. Let it go. Let yourself hope once again.

I'll concede the game not being in HD since it's national.

They're all in HD. Turn on Channel 620.
Title: Re: I see the A&M game is on ESPN...
Post by: pissclams on January 14, 2008, 04:17:03 PM
Not sure but I think they need to know well in advance because of scheduling issues with their limited HD equipment.  Looking at the other games on ESPN this Saturday, I can understand why we're not.

stick with the rss updates, let us big kids talk tv stuff.

LOL. Yeah, wow. Good ol' generic ch. 620, from anywhere, from any cable company...it'll broadcast whatever in 1080i!
Title: Re: I see the A&M game is on ESPN...
Post by: pissclams on January 14, 2008, 04:28:33 PM
Ch 620 broadcasts in 1080p now.  I think.

Scratch that- after careful investigation I found out that Ch 620 is now broadcasting 3D holograms.

I just sent a nasty email to comcast demanding channel 620.

You actually have to get robot eyes to experience Ch. 620 at full capacity. Human eyes are incapable of seeing at that high a resolution.

Well your right it's not in true HD, but it will still be a better quality picture on espnhd channel than regular the espn channel, and then to watch it on a hd television.

color is better on the espn hd channel, but the "definition" is the same.  I was just flippping back and forth during PTI.

480i....is that still considered high def?   I think my old Atari Lynx had better resolution. Just kidding.  But hopefully the game is in HD. I only get to see a few games a year here in NC and seeing them in HD is a treat

• Kansas State: Beating Oklahoma on the road Saturday is the kind of win away from Manhattan that had eluded the Wildcats this season. Beating Cal at home was certainly significant for the NCAA résumè but winning on the road against like competition in the Big 12 will only enhance the résumè.

No, that's why I said that the replay was in HD, but the live feed was in 480i SD.  Crap.
