nice. will it be HD on the normal channel or do i need to call my cable company to get NFL Network in HD?

[SoCalSkins]

It will be on a separate channel. Your provider will have to carry the extra channel. Directv, for example, adds an extra NFL HD channel when they are broadcasting HD content, it is a temporary channel.

I'd guess that the Pittsburgh game on Fox will also be HD.

Interesting. What is the temporary channel they use or does it vary?

I was wondering why I wasn't getting NFL Network in the High Definition channel range (71-88).

September 5th is labor day, so hopefully you will be able to see the Skins/Ravens game.

Last year is was channel 98 on Directv, the HD special events channel. The last 2 years they have only had the Game of the Week in HD. Hopefully they will get to a point where it will be a 24 hr HD network.
