1st Round in HD????

[txlobo95]

When I tried to set the record for the games on 616-1 on Directv it just had a "to be announced" or something similar. The MWCT games were not listed? I thought, in order to get the HD programming, it had to be on the 616-1 channel?

The guide basically has one big open slot listed for this channel, 616-1. How do I record the game in HD or can I?

Anyone else having issues?

Many times the guide on DirecTV does not update appropriately for games on the alternate channel. I imagine tonight or tomorrow you will see the game listed when the guide updates at night.

It does make setting a recording well in advance a pain. You can always download their app for your phone and set your recording that way if the guide does not update properly.

I believe CBS sports is simulcasting the games along with the MTN so they should all be in HD

They aren't doing all the games for Thursday. According to the bracket the MW posted, CBS Sports is only doing the second and fourth game (CSU/TCU, UNLV/Wyoming). The first and third game are on only on The Mtn. CBS Sports will carry both of Friday's games and NBC Sports will carry the championship game on Saturday.

According to the conference, alll games will be in HD, including games that are only on the mtn. and not on CBS Sports Net. This is the only time of year that the conference rents HD equipment from some where. Now I don't know if the mtn. sets up a separate channel for HD, but the mtn. will show all games in HD (or so it claims)
