Anyone else with dish have occasional Rockets games not shown in HD? I've only noticed it with Rockets games. When we played Boston and now tonight only being shown in SD... Does this have something to do with the TV deal stuff going on in Houston?
I dont think NBA League Pass offers "actual" HD quality, they're using that word to sell it but it really looks like 480p all the time, doesnt matter which game. Device doesnt matter either, PC, PS3 or PS4. There is no way that those streams are actually 720p or 1080p. I also just found this, pretty clear that its not HD quality: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xk3sINh4x8k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
There is definitely an inconsistency in terms of "HD" quality and LP. I've found some arenas have better broadcasts than others (NOP might be the worst). You can definitely see the difference when TNT, ESPN or ABC cover the games vs. the local broadcast.
I don't know if it's real HD or not. What I mean is like on the guide, it shows each game in both HD and SD. For the Rockets game last night and the Boston game last week it didn't even show an "HD" broadcast availible...
