Every FOX and CBS national game has been in HD this year.

Plus, they promo'd it during last weeks games as being in HD.

Here is a link to the original FOX - HD NFL schedule as well.

Fox Press release at AVS

Lets get this win!!!!!!!!!!

Then why is everyone getting excited about getting Ch88 when it's a duplicate of 6-1? Other than watching local NY news, what's the point? I get 6-1 just fine.

I still don't understand why the guide info for both 6-1 and 88 do not indicate that the game is HDTV.

First, you may get 6-1 fine but alot of people in the area with D* can't receive Fox-6 HD OTA so its an added HD channel for them.

Plus during the regular NFL season it will be another NFL game to watch if we are not getting the national game.  Ie: you may get packers vs ? at noon on Fox-6 while also getting NY Giants vs ? at noon on ch. 88 as well.   Some weeks they will be duplicated but many weeks will have different games.  I get NFL ST and local Fox OTA so it really doesn't matter much to me either.  But to those outside the FOX OTA signal area it is great.

Second, the guides are not always right.  I don't have any inside info or anything but according to the original press release, history of FOX doing national games in HD and the Promo's ran last weekend it will be in HD.

I don't get 6-1 here, so this is a way to get FOX-HD. The Packers game is just a bonus.
