Bucks game in HD tonite??

I see it is listed on channel 95 on D*.  But it is blacked out (at least for me).

Is that right, should it be blacked out?  Does TWC have the game in HD?

The only thing I can think of is that it is not available locally via Fox Sports Net HD, and that Memphis is actually doing the game in HD.  That would be surprising for a road team to do the game in HD, but I guess it is possible.

FYI - I have all the "right" things to ensure it wouldn't be blacked out - NBA League Pass, HD Package, etc.

Thanks for your help - if anyone knows the answer

Not that I know of... FSN (31) has it, but FSN HD (531) is black as usual.  FSN HD only has Brewers games listed.

Mags, its another case of NBA games being in HD and us not getting them......we went through this at the start of the season....there are occasional games in HD that show on the channel guide but aren't available to Milwaukee viewers.

The biggest culprit is that the HD feed probably is being originated by the Memphis crew for their market.  Because of the broadcast restrictions, we are always stuck with "Jim and John" and they haven't ever produced an HD broadcast to my knowledge.  

It will probably be another two seasons before we get all the games in HD.

I had thought that the Bucks did some games in HD every year (like the Brewers) on Fox Sports Net - I was hoping that it was a locally produced game...

When that occurs, do we get in on D*?

This explains it..

I'm in Memphis and am getting this game. I'm guessing it is a FS South game since it is our announcers. Why they would do an away HD game, got me.
