Bucks basketball in HD

[FordDTJ]

I was just visiting Time Warner's website and noticed they have a schedule up for Fox Sports Net HD basketball schedule.

There's 10 Bucks games.  Some pretty good opponents, too.

They have a few national games on ESPN, and ABC.  Hopefully more will be scheduled after they take the NBA by storm.  

I purchased my HDTV a month ago so this will be my first basketball season in HD.  If it's anything like football and baseball... wow.

Does TNTHD broadcast the games in HD or is it just an SD broadcast?

I am wondering if WCGV-24 will be broadcasting any Bucks games this year.  I highly doubt they would air them in HD, even if they get their new HD equipment operating to carry UPN Network offerings in HD including "Star Trek".

So if a TWC subscriber has NBA League Pass do we get the FSN games from other markets in HD if they broadcast them? And, do we get the NBA TV HD games? Last year I was w/DirecTV and we got the NBA TV HD games, but not FSN HD games from other markets. Just wondering how TWC does it. Thanks.

NBA League Pass and FSN-HD are different animals all together.  Fox Sport Net HD's NBA agreement only allows retransmission of Bucks games in the local market.
