...or have any info if a dbs provider is going to carry it or not? <img width="500" src="http://espn.go.com/i/espntv/hd/espnhd_splash_plain.jpg">
I heard that ESPN was offering a High-Definition channel starting at the end of March. No word from DirecTV, at least, that they would be carrrying ESPN HD. But since they've been screaming for at least a year that they were the first to carry HD (big whoopie: HBOHD, SHOHD and HDNet), I would imagine they will.
Here's some info. http://www.cableworld.com/archive/cableworld/2003/03/31/cwd03033101.shtml Sounds like Disney wants a bundle. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for either Dish or DirecTV to add it. Rumor says that if DTV adds ESPN HD, it will be on a side satellite and require the Sat C kit. HD content from Echostar already requires a second dish. Check out dbsforums.com. It's like the DIS only for DBS!
That's why I was asking here. Those guys know some stuff, but I wasn't sure if anyone here with an "in" knew anything from the Disney side. I hope Rupert doesn't scoop it up before Charlie gets a chance to iron out any problems. I already have 3 dishes (4 sat reception) so the off axis sat. doesn't matter to me. JC
