There have been plenty of Cubs broadcasts only in SD on DirecTV. Every WGN game is SD-only on DirecTV, for example. Kind of sucks, but it's true. Until DirecTV gets WGNHD this will continue. Also--I don't see a CSN+ HD option, so yes I guess us DirecTV subscribers are in worse shape. I've been watching oppo team broadcasts for HD through EI. Which is alright, but I'd rather stick with Len/Bob.
