I have had TBS OTA in HD for a few years. For a while every Braves home game broadcast on TBS was in HD. Once the new Braves owners took over that stopped though.

I don't think they have shown anything in HD other then the Braves games in the past.

 

807 on my Comcast here in Atlanta.

Very little actual HD content though there were games this last week on in HD. Might have been sooner - this is the first I noticed it.

 

the national TBS feed is actually changing to PeachTree TV on October 1st

yah you are right I misread the article

 

Oddly, TBS is the only non-local station our cable system broadcasts in clear QAM... for no discernible reason. But it's just digital, not HD.

 

It should be coming on anytime on D* they should launch the new HD channels on or before the 19th on this month.

 

Are all the games on TBS? I don't get it in HD, seriously doubt I will by then. Will the regular Braves announcers do the games, I like those guys.

 

My cable system (Cox) sends the very basic of basic cable via QAM. The only non-locals in the open QAM lineup in Phoenix are TBS, WGN, CSPAN1, and CSPAN2.

If TBS is in the lower analog lineup, your cable company may do the same.

 

Wow...that sucks big time.

 

At least I get TNT HD. This sucks big time. If you don't have cable you are screwed?

 

It did, but the last week or two the games have been back in HD. I guess TBS is testing the equipment for the playoffs.

 

Uh... so if you don't have cable or sat you can't watch the MLB playoffs? That doesn't seem right.

 

NYC gets it in HD
