Pacquiao vs. de la Hoya bout marks the launch of Event TV HD
While you and your crew kick in a few bucks to catch the Pacquiao / de la Hoya fight tonight, keep in mind you're witnessing the launch of a new network, Event TV HD. The new high definition version of TVN's linear Pay-Per-View net promises to bring boxing, MMA and wrestling action in crisp 1080i and 5.1 surround. That usually includes All Day Event tickets if you want to see a replay, or themed programs during the week. TVN sells its package to cable, satellite and other providers who then pass the PPV on to you, so when Pacman takes this, remember who was responsible for bringing it to you.[Via Multichannel News]

Cox San Diego didn't have it in 5.1 surround, but the picture quality look pretty good compared to the other HD channels (aka little compression artifacts). Wonder if they were dealing directly with HBO on this event or if it was Event TV. I saw no signs of Event TV during the fight.

I have FIOS in Long Beach and the only choice we had was SD ppv. Like I want to pay $60 buck for a blurry event. FU
