Is there any kind of schedule that shows which playoff games will be broadcast in HD? That is, for this year. :) I notice that they have shown a few already (although none that I've been interested in), but I haven't seen any advance notice for any of 'em. Obviously, they can't know which teams will necessarily be participating, and maybe that's why they can't commit, but you'd think they'd be able to schedule, say, "Game 2 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals", for instance.

NBA-TV HD has already presented 7 playoff games in HD. As of today, there are no more playoff games in HD scheduled. The Semi-Finals/Finals will be shown in HD by ESPN-HD & ABC. Check your local station for details.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't get ESPN-HD, and according to ABC they're only showing the Finals.

This all has a real deja vu feel to it. When I was a kid, I remember discussions like this relating to what was going to be on in color. I'm looking forward to the day when scouring the schedule for HD shows will be just such a memory.
