No HD for the Packers this weekend (or maybe so ...)

[Sparkman87]

7 Games on FOX this weekend, they only do 6 HD games/week in HD.  They chose the NO/GB game as the widescreen SD game.   How low the Pack have sunk! :rofl:

That's re-goddamn-diculous. :bang:

Does it surprise you though?  I have never known the Packers to have a losing record.  I am too young.  But my dad remembers when they were bad.  I just hope they don't have a 1-15 record or somwhere around there.

They may rally and go 2-14. In case you didn't know, Sunday was the first time Favre was shut out in the NFL.

Wow I'm Super P*ssed!  How am I supposed to watch Reggie Bush run for 150yrds against us if I can't see him?

This says it is in HD! They have not been wrong yet.

TitanTV doesn't list the Packer game as HD.

That is a steaming turd pile if that is true....

TitanTV doesn't list the Packer game as HD.  

Doesn't look like Titan TV is showing any games in HD on FOX Sunday yet.

I think the reason there is some confusion is that the CAR/MIN is getting the 7th announcing team whic consists of Bill Maas & whatever PBP persson they hire for that week.  That would normally be the SD widrscreen game.  Packers game is getting Ron Pitts & Terry Donahue.  But, here is the Directv guide listing for Sunday afternoon.  It is showing the CAR/MIN game in HD, no NO/GB:

719 NFL Bills @ Dolphins HD  
 
720 NFL Buccaneers @ Falcons HD  
 
721 NFL Lions @ Bears HD  
 
722 NFL Panthers @ Vikings HD  
 
723 NFL Giants @ Eagles HD  
 
724 NFL Chiefs @ Broncos HD Live 4pm ET  
 
725 NFL Patriots @ Jets Live 4pm ET  
 
726 NFL Rams @ 49ers HD

The Packers will be high-def
Although the original plan was for Sunday's Packers-Saints game not to be broadcast in high-definition on Fox, Channel 6 says the plans have changed and the noon game will air in high-def.
