Yes, for not only the "hd leader", but the "sports leader" as well, this is sad. Especially when you see carriers like our (syracuse) time warner pick it up. Granted it looks like its from the moon, but, it is in hd. Lets go "hd leaders".the_batman said:

Week four of the college season and NO ESPNU in HD.:nono2: Whats going on here? This should have been negotiated before it was even available. This is sad.

ESPN wants it in the basic tier. DirecTV want to put it in the sports package so they can charge extra for it, hence no ESPNU HD yet.the_batman said:Week four of the college season and NO ESPNU in HD.:nono2: Whats going on here?

Exactly, this is the same type of thing that has been plaguing Dish for years.heisman said:Charlie bought D*?
I would guess placing it in the basic pier would force a price increase in the basic package for everyone.man_rob said:ESPN wants it in the basic tier. DirecTV want to put it in the sports package so they can charge extra for it, hence no ESPNU HD yet.
That's true with every channel in the basic package. At the risk of starting a rant it is frustrating that the HD Sports leader and the Worldwide leader in sports can't come together and make a deal.durl said:I would guess placing it in the basic pier would force a price increase in the basic package for everyone.
I am indifferent to the package as I subscribe to SportsPack but my guess is that ESPN would settle for parking the U in the Choice Plus package with ESPN Classic, Versus and WGN America as ESPNU has accepted digital basic carriage elsewhere. I just want a deal done as it is painful watching games on the U in SD.

D emailed me back last week and said they had no plans to add Fox News HD or ESPNU hd at this time......fwiw. That really stinks to me. Now, it may become available next week, but that's what D said.
I want WCIU 26 HD and MY50 HD

"DirecTV want to put it in the sports package so they can charge extra for it, hence no ESPNU HD yet"
Most likely they won't be launching this channel till Mid October, when the next big release will probably be. You might have to wait a while guys!!
