Wimbledon in HD

[jesmanowicz]

Dows anyone knows wether Wimbledon will be in HD? Will it be shown on NBC? or is it on ESPN?

The early rounds are on ESPN and ESPN2 with the nightly highlight shows on NBC.

The finals are on NBC but I can't find any mention of HD in any of the NBC news releases.

Highly unlikely as Wimbledon is produced by the BBC which does not have any High Definition capability.

The best you are likely to hope for is to have the widescreen SD PAL digital output (576 * 720 50Hz interlaced) upconverted to HD widescreen (720x1280 60hz progressive) on ESPN but i've know idea if they will do this.
