Another Clasico in SD - maybe the last ? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

While the rest of the world will enjoy Saturday's Clasico in HD,
looks like Canadians once again will not.

Why not even a HD PPV event ?

Hopefully this is the last time and in April we will all gather around our 360s or Bell etc will offer the HD feed?

Yeah. Very disappointing. I initially thought Bell carried GOLTV HD. Looking forward to tomorrow's game! The sad part is I can probably watch better quality streams on the internet than what I can obtain legally.

Let's hope. I would have paid (depending on amount) to watch in HD. Let's just hope Bell and Rogers gets Gol TV HD out to the masses quickly since I'm not getting an Xbox anytime soon.

With Bell And Rogers now a partner to GolTV Canada's success,
I'd bet it will be up in HD in no time.

Just wish tomorrows game could be shown,
Bell even has the GOLHD channel in guide for months showing nothing.

If they dont want to run GOL in HD 24/7, just show the live games.
For such a big game can't see why they cant run it tomorrow in HD.

If not tomorrow, hopefully by April or sooner HD will happen.

That's what I was hoping for when I heard/posted it last night in the other thread. Really depends on what kind of deal was signed with Microsoft I'm guessing. I really hope Gol TV HD is up before April 22. Bell has really been pushing HD so I'm sure it will be available soon (as long as that Microsoft partnership doesn't interfere). Of course, knowing Telus, I'll have to wait months after the channel is available anyways.

With the Copa draw today,
it looks like Barca and Madrid will meet on Jan 18th and 25th
in the quarter finals.

Hopefully GOL TV will be in HD by then....
