DirecTV -- Contact to get BYU TV in HD

If you have DirecTV, please contact them so that you can watch the games on BYUTV in HD.

Here's what I sent:

"I currently subscribe and have been with DirecTV for about three years. I ordered directv so that I could watch BYU sports (at the time the MTN). Now that BYU has left the MTN, BYU's games are all on ESPN or BYUtv. ESPN's games are all in HD and I wanted to know when Direc TV will start carrying BYUtv in HD. I know BYU sports is broadcast in HD on BYUtv, but is not being carried by DirecTV in HD. Being able to watch BYU sports in a viewer friendly format (HD) pretty much influences who I purchase my television services from. Please let me know if DirecTV has any plans to broadcast BYUtv in HD so that I can make an informed consumer decision.



Thank you for your attention in this matter."



I sent my response to http://support.directv.com/app/ask



Here was the response I got.

I got that same email five years ago when dealing with the Mountain.

Great! I've been with DirecTV for 9 years. I hope they value my comments too.

I understand, but this one should be a little easier. The MTN wasn't being broadcast in HD then, was it?

Its not going to happen for a while. BYU TV has very limited content in HD. Basically just some of the sporting events. Unless they start shooting all of those "quilting shows" in HD.....we are stuck with blurry sports.

Sounds like we need to write two emails. One to Directv and another to BYUtv requesting they show their quilting programs in HD. Shouldn't be too hard. My smartphone shoots in HD.
