MSU - Michigan, no HD for me?

I am in KC and ESPN has the Clemsen - UNC game and the MSU - Michigan game is on an overflow ESPN channel on DishNetwork, 145, that doesn't have HD. Actually the only channels ABC has in their family with games in HD is the UNC - Clemsen game on ESPN and ABC has the A&M - Arkansas game.

Man, sometimes I miss being outside of the Big ten footprint. But, with the deal the Big ten has with ABC/ESPN and The BTN, those days are few and far between.
 


This is just stupidity. I'm in Kansas City, too. It's be one thing if it was a Big 12 game, but nobody here cares about Clemson and North Carolina.

The biggest question is why do I have any games not on HD. I don't know the technical stuff but I have an older large screen tv and a non HD is game is so fuzzy it's just not watchable.
 


I'm in ATL and typically get the overflow/non-regional game on ESPN. Unfortunately for whatever reason today they have the ESPN channel on ESPNEWS for the overdrive live look-in show. The guide is still showing ESPN to be televising the the alternate from Clemson vs. UNC. I am wondering if it is because there are 3 games scheduled for "ABC" with Arkansas vs. Texas A&M as well which is throwing things off. Earlier in the year the non-regional ABC game was still being shown on ESPN. All I know is I do not want to be watching the Iowa-Michigan game on ESPN3 next week. . .
 


I'm in Austin with ATT Uverse and have aTm - Arkansaw on ABC, Clemson-UNC on ESPN HD and on regular ESPN I have the Michigan-MSU game.
 


Move back to NW Iowa, buy a house with so many trees you can't get dish, purchase local cable, & your troubles will be solved.
 


The Big Ten ABC games that are shown on the reverse mirror are always only in SD on the reverse mirror. I don't know why, but that is how it is.
 


Not true, ICHawk.

Are you saying if the game is an ABC game in some parts of the country, but not in my part, that it is in SD only on the ESPN channel? If so, that is not true from my experience.

The problem is that this week there are three games in the mix and not two. Typically it is only two games and the second is on ESPN in HD. I wonder if the fact that it is two schools in Michigan and they felt that the demographic of only one state made them think the audience would be smaller?
