Superbowl in HDTV on FOX?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Just got the FOX network in HDTV.
Anyone know if they plan to broadcast the superbowl on FOX in HDTV?
Please say yes (and don't lie :-)

I remember hearing the broadcasters saying during the playoff game on Sunday
that the SB would be broadcasted in HD.

Largest sporting event in the world....what do you think?

Of course they are broadcasting it in HD. They are also broadcasting the
Daytona 500 in HD two weeks later.

No, the ATSC standard (which is the sovrce of the HD feed that DirecTV
gets) allows 24, 30, or 60 frames per second at 1280x720 pixels.

There is still hope. Last year, when the Superbowl was on CBS, Time Warner
struck a deal with the local CBS Affiliate to show the Superbowl in HD.
They went live on Thursday night/Friday morning and the broadcast was
awesome. Ultimately the local CBS affiliate became a permanent channel on
the local cable system. I have seen this done for other major sporting
events as well. Hopefully this will happen in your area. It just depends
on the affiliate and the cable operator.

In less than a week after I stated here that I don't get FOX HD on my
Comcast, I noticed yesterday that my local Comcast just added San
Francisco's Channel 2 FOX on the 700 range (all other HD channels are
assigned to the 700s). I have not seen any HD show on this 702 channel
yet, but I hope it does show HD. So HD Superbowl may come just in time
for me. Happy happy joy joy!

Does anyone in the SF Bay Area notice when 702 was added to Comcast? I
first saw it on Jan 27 and I don't remember seeing it any earlier.
