NFL fans calling Lufkin, Nacogdoches or a surrounding locale home may be thrilled to know that SuddenLink and the Longview, Texas FOX affiliate (KFXK) have finally decided to put their differences aside and shake hands. Merely days before
Super Bowl XLII kicks off from nearby Arizona, the station has apparently landed an agreement with SuddenLink (cash very likely involved, by the way) that will enable the cable company's subscribers to finally receive FOX in HD on channel 705. Better still, these very customers will also be able to tune into Fox Sports Network HD on channel 750 if they decide to plunk down $7.95 per month for the SuddenLink HD Plus package. According to Gene Regan, director of corporate communications at SuddenLink, the firm still plans on juicing up its lineup with additional high-def options in the near future, but unfortunately for Austin-area folks, there's still no end in sight to the drama keeping NBC HD
off of your EPG.

"nearby Arizona"? Longview is close to Louisiana. That's probably an 18 hour drive to Glendale, AZ.

1250 miles from Lufkin to Pheonix.
1290 miles from NYC to Miami
Wouldn't really qualify as 'nearby' now would it :)

That's strange. I live in Tyler, and I've been getting channel 705(FOX HD) for some time now. A lot of the NFL games have been in HD. I've also been getting the Mavs games in HD on 751

Oops, I see now that the story was talking specifically about Longview, which is 45 miles from Tyler. I incorrectly assumed the story was about Tyler as well.
