    Why are HBO PPV's never in HD?

    I want to order this fight card, but why the hell is HBO PPV never in HD?

    I have a 120" screen and an outstanding HD projector. If I'm going to pay over $50 for basically ONE fight then I want to see it in 1080p, not 480i.

    Honestly, I probably won't even order this fight. HBO needs to step their game up, for real.

    I always watch them in HD.

    Your area probably doesnt offer HBO PPV in HD.

    End of thread.

    Sorry.

              I have Direct TV and HD for PPV's is almost always an option for an extra $10. It definitely is for Saturday.

                  you have to pay extra?

                  HBO PPV HD doesnt cost more here in South Florida (with Comcast)
