ESPN-U HD on Dish?

[ovredcoat]

Any word when ESPN-U will be HD on Dish?
Dish Network is looking more attractive to me now that they have MLB Network.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still in court and probably will be for years so I don't expect ESPN-U in HD anytime soon.

 

[Mr Tony]

way longer than "soon"

 

[Tampa8]

Not even a Dish network "Soon."

it's not coming until Disney and Dish make peace, which the soonest will be when the other disney owned networks and TV station's carriage contract expires, and sadly only Dish, Disney and a couple of insiders knows when it expires. so we will know when Scott does knows, until then, we need to have a sticky thread with the title "answers to any Disney O&O networks/TV stations in HD on Dish related questions here".

Let's be honest it's always in HD, ESPN stop broadcasting the channel in SD earlier this year. They then compressed it to 4:3 to fit the SD TVs. And still cry that Dish should be paying for HD channel on top of the SD conversion. Ha!

even worse its 4x3 letter box.
