Comcast SportsNet delivers every Flyers, Sixers and Phillies game in HD

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 16th 2008 at 8:20PM

Shortly after hearing that Comcast SportsNet would be broadcasting an awful lot of Washington Capitals in HD this upcoming season, along comes this. Philadelphia residents should be in high-def heaven for the foreseeable future, being that Comcast SportsNet has just vowed to deliver "all Flyers, Sixers and Phillies games -- home and away, regular season and playoff -- in high-definition for the first time." Fans will also be treated to high-def versions of pre- and post-game shows, and if you're interested in some exact figures, you'll see 64 Flyers and 69 Sixers games, all in high definition, beginning with the Saturday, October 11 Flyers vs. New York Rangers tilt and the Wednesday, October 29 Sixers vs. Toronto Raptors matchup.

Awesome. But still no Sci-Fi HD or Speed HD though. We have to have fucking Animal Planet HD instead.

All games will be in HD? then why only 64 games for exact figures? Flyers play 82 regular season plus any playoff games.

All games on Comcast Sportsnet will be in HD, they mean. Obviously theres some games on other channels that may or may not be in HD.

It's too bad those criminals don't allow the games to be broadcast on DirecTV.
