Question So who's lucky enough to get ESPN2HD?

I've been nagging my cable provider for over 18mo to please offer this channel, only to have my many requests fall on deaf ears. Instead what have they given me in the past year? A&E HD and some stupid music channel in HD. [Dice Clay] Oh - I can't take no more! [/Dice Clay] I really don't want to switch to satellite just for the one channel, and have to have a convertor in every room. But watching SD blown up to 55" and stretched (by my choice to avoid black bars on the sides) just isn't cutting it any more. Rant off Incidentally, it's Brighthouse Networks in Tampa that is the epitome of SUCKING

I totally disagree. It looks phenominal on the plasma, in HD!

Re: So who's lucky enough to get ESPN2HD?

I had Time Warner cable at home (no HD espn2) , they jacked me around on service to my new shop,so I ordered Direct tv instead. Found out I had Espn2 HD ! Looks great on my 51" Sony. I think the sound is better,but they still sound like **** on 85%.

Re: So who's lucky enough to get ESPN2HD?

Wonderful Time Warner, here in Cincinnati carries ESPN HD for an additional monthly charge. They DON'T carry ESPN2 HD. I have made more than a few inquiries about getting it but Time Warner acts like I have three heads or something for making such a request. According to them, they don't carry it and have no plans to add it in the future.

Re: So who's lucky enough to get ESPN2HD?

Sorry, but I have Dish and have one receiver for two TVs, including the 56 inch Samsung DLP with 7.1 sound. Sorry, but I won't trade any of that and certainly not considering I can record up to 30 hours of HD or 200 hours of regular programming. I LOVE it!

Re: So who's lucky enough to get ESPN2HD?

Just got the 42in Panasonic Plasma last week. Contacted my cable Co. and got the following response:

"Hi Jim,
As of right now there are no plans to add this channel. I will send your contact info to the Marketing department and they will contact you if this changes."

Damn!

It looks great on my 50" Panasonic plasma in HD. If you flip the channel back to regular ESPN the difference is like night and day.

Same here! I got a 42" Vizio plasma with 1080i and HD a week after the season ended last year. High Def is everything it's cracked up to be. Absolutely fanstastic!
