Just logged onto bucks.com and they still don't list which games will be telecast in HD this year. Uh,the season starts Tuesday. :bang:

Nevermind,I found it here  http://www.madison.com/tct/sports/bucks/306586

I think it's still a paltry amount of 25 HD games,not even 1/3 :huh?:
edit:Well I guess it IS over 1/3 of the 70 games on FSN, BUT I feel it shold be at least 1/2. Didnt FSN announce all Brewers games will be HD next season? Or was it wishful daydreaming on my part?

edit again: It is listed in above link,ALL FSN Brewers games in HD next season :)

Wow only 25 games, not many, but I guess until the Bucks can be a winning team again, no one going to force the issue. You would think they would try to do more HD channels just to get more ppl to watch the games.

This is ridiculous - opening night of the NBA, against your biggest rival in the NBA, and they can't even do the game in HD.

It's no wonder the Bucks are a 2nd rate team - in this day and age, every game should be in HD - it's that way in many, many markets.

I'm not sure who is to blame - the Bucks or FSN WI - but it is ridiculous.

But then again, we still don't even have the news in HD in our market - most "big league" markets have had it that way for over a year already....

Milwaukee is small time folks - and they treat their viewers as small time......

Jeez, here in Tampa 2 channels have had the news in HD for over a year now... maybe Milw will get there by 2012 or so......

Looks to me like FSN's feed is just a raw feed from WGN.

No excuse. WGN broadcasts in HD.

How many Major League Markets (ok, I'll define it - 2 or more big league NBA, MLB, or NFL teams) DON"T offer all the sports games in HD????

I'll bet Milw is probably the only one.

How many big league markets don't have at least 1 channel broadcasting news in HD?   Again, I'll bet Milw is the only one.

The Milwaukee Market, I think, assumes the majority of local consumers (and TV watchers) are a bunch of hicks, watching TV on a 19" analog TV.  Maybe it is true, I don't know.  But pretty much everyone I know has an HD TV these days.......

But it is embarassing how far behind Milw is on the HD issues compared to the other "major league" cities....  but then again, maybe Milw truly is not major league quality...

I watched the game in HD on WGN HD 9-1 from Chicago, not full game, of course, until it was a close game.
It looks like it will be a long season:-(. Again:-(
