    Over at Oregon live, trailblazerf said he works for comcast, and that they would ink out a deal today with both directv and dish, can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Thanks.

    Next we gotta get Comcast to sign agreements with all the other providers to carry the HD feed on their channels. I've got Verizon FiOS, and I have been getting CSNW since I signed up, but they don't have a dedicated HD channel like Comcast does.

    That would be great for most suffering Blazers fans, too bad for us who are on Charter however.

    Yeah, same here. Same situation w/ Verizon FiOS. But that is definitely secondary to gettin' the Blazer fans some Blazers BBALL!!! Come on, get this done!

    But actually, i'd rather have FiOS start carrying the NBA package. We don't get NBAtv and don't even have the option of getting League Pass (which i would get in a second if offered). I think i'd rather get those than HD. How bout you?

    I'll believe it when I see it show up on my DirectTV channel listing. Not before.

    Got a letter from Verizon the other day in the mail saying they are adding NBATV and NBATV-HD to the standard package soon. Not sure about NBA League Pass, but that's pretty likely after reaching a deal with NBATV.

    There's no dedicated HD channel in Seattle even though we're part of the market and I'm on Comcast...
