Full slate of games in HD today, yet only 2 on TWC. Another baseball season begins and we're still without ESPN2HD. Last night's opener was on ESPN2HD. Three of the five games today are on ESPN2HD. This is getting ridiculous. While there may not be enough for 24hours of HD on ESPN/ESPN2, there clearly is a need for both stations given the nature of sports scheduling worldwide. It took forever to get ESPNHD and it's taking forever and two years to get ESPN2HD! The excuses have worn out.

Agreed!! Why did they not have the foresight to hammer out an agreement for both of the HD channels at the same time is beyond me! :bang:  :bang:

I totally agree!  Why in the world did ESPN show Ice Skating on ESPN, and put Opening Day on ESPN 2? I think they are pushing EPSNHD.

Of course they are. ESPN produced a total of 6 HD games today. The problem is TWC hasn't done a thing even though they stated it would be done by opening day this year. They failed miserably once again. You could try to blame ESPN last year when they showed the opener on ESPN2 as well due to NCAA Women's contract, but not a year later. The ball has been in TWC's court for a long time and we're the one's getting screwed.
