Why are HBO PPV's never in HD?

It's Arnold Schwarzenegger charging people more over on the west coast. ****in ****.

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.

boxing in HD is pretty cool

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

I have the same problem. I'm leaving DirectTV soon because of it.

How do you get it in HD? I bought a 42' TV yesterday and i got the HD box and everything. I got it all hooked up.

I checked the PPV schedule and it just says Cotto-Margarito and doesnt say whether or not it will be HD. I have comcast digital cable.

Do i call comcast? Will it automatically be hd when i order it? Is there another channel? How does this work?

I believe the regular HBO is on channel 501 and the HD is usually 507 or 509.

Just call and specify you want it in HD when you call to order.

You do realize that there are usually two separate channels where you can buy the PPV, right? One HD and one regular -- and they're not anywhere near each other on the listings (I have DirectTV, and they're like 200 channels apart). I've been watching HBO PPVs in high def for quite some time now.

Oh, and if you're not ordering this fight (which is about the biggest that can be made in the sport right now) just cuz you can't get it in HD, then you're not a real boxing fan anyway.
