For all of us that are in different TV markets, post here when you have confirmed a station will carry the ACC tournement in HD. This is mainly relevant for different markets within the ACC area.

WRAL- Raleigh/Durham
ESPN2 (Thursday/Friday) ESPN (Saturday/Sunday) - outside of Raycom/LF coverage area


Note- Duke v. NC State will be at 7 PM on ESPN2, regardless of geographic location.


I have attempted to contact WDCA (Washington, DC) but can't get a response either way.

I believe Charlotte's WBTV (CBS) will cover it in HD, although Charlotte Time Warner does not yet have ESPN2HD for tomorrow night's State game

WBTV (CBS affiliate) - Charlotte NC

ESPN2HD - Charlotte - No ESPN2HD in Charlotte's Time Warner package

3/7/2007 1:40:44 PM

No ESPN2 HD either in Raleigh. No one at the call center even knows when they should even start guessing a time.

3/7/2007 2:16:36 PM

haha yeah some of them are idiots, they first ask me if i want ESPN2 (SD)

[Edited on March 7, 2007 at 5:32 PM. Reason : then they ask about ESPNHD]

And if you have any questions and concerns during the broadcast, a good place to go would be here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=652930&page=3. The user "SNF Mixer" is mixing sound for this broadcast (he used to do MNF and now does SNF obviously, as well as NASCAR) and will be checking in periodically to see how they are doing.

word.

3/7/2007 8:11:31 PM

I'm so glad this thread is official

3/7/2007 8:32:54 PM

gg WRAL

this HD feed looks better than most

ESPNHD looks much worse in comparison

plz to have most or all of your games in HD next year

3/8/2007 1:52:43 PM

i dunno, i think i prefer espns hd to raycoms

3/8/2007 2:58:40 PM

1080i > 720p

Plus Raycom has no bottomline and no Dick Vitale.
Ill take Raycom any day of the week now that they have HD.

3/8/2007 3:00:38 PM

upon further review (i hadnt compared the two back-to-back when i made the assertion that espns is better) i will now say raycoms is better

[Edited on March 8, 2007 at 3:05 PM. Reason : now]

3/8/2007 3:05:14 PM

whats wrong with the bottomline

i like it when theres a lot of games going on


but hell yes this looks amazing.. now just get ESPN's graphics and it'll all be good

3/8/2007 3:33:16 PM

^^^ wrong. Please pass go and do not collect dollars on the way to AVSForum.

720p >> 1080i for anything with lots of motion, making the progressive element more important than the interlaced.

Now for movies or pictures 1080i would take the cake but sports and video games? No sir.

[Edited on March 8, 2007 at 3:54 PM. Reason : -]

3/8/2007 3:53:53 PM

I like how you bring up the AVSforum, yet youd be hard pressed to find anyone on there that would take, for example, the NFL on FOX or ESPN (720p) over the NFL on CBS (1080i).

3/8/2007 4:27:19 PM

720p & 1080i >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> regular tv

3/8/2007 4:32:15 PM

eh who cares

HD looks good either way




by the way, why do all sports broadcasts that show video from around the city or outside the arena reduce the framerate?

the first time the tourney is in HD in raleigh and the one game i must watch is in SD

3/8/2007 5:20:14 PM

^^i think it depends on the broadcast / if it is a big enough company to have HD cameras outside?

^hopefully we can win tonight and at least play 1 game in HD!

or maybe the NIT will be in HD

3/8/2007 5:22:05 PM

Comcast Cable has ESPN2 HD. Time Warner belows.
