ESPN "said" the broadcast was in HDTV and we had the TV set to Ch 849.

Paul,

Be careful with ESPN-HD, not all programming is actually HD, they often send
just a digital version of the regular signal and stretch it out to 16:9

It will be nice having CBS in HD finally - does anyone know who blinked 1st
- Comcast or BZ?
