Thanks to Dale Cripps & HDTV MAgazine for this breaking news:
EL SEGUNDO, CA, March 17, 2003 - DIRECTV, Inc., the nation's leading digital multichannel service provider, announced today that it will offer select NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship games in high-definition, through the MEGA MARCH MADNESS subscription on the DIRECTV service.
Beginning March 21 on DIRECTV Channel 198, DIRECTV will broadcast up to eight CBS-produced and regionally shown Tournament broadcasts in high-definition format (1080i) from Birmingham, Ala., (March 21st and 23rd) and San Antonio (March 28th).
DIRECTV customers eligible to receive these games in high-definition include:
Residential and commercial DIRECTV customers with a 2003 MEGA MARCH MADNESS subscription and high-definition receiving equipment. These customers will receive the high-definition feed at no additional charge.
Residential DIRECTV customers with high-definition receiving equipment but without a 2003 MEGA MARCH MADNESS subscription. These customers can purchase the high-definition produced broadcasts via pay-per-game ordering for $24.95 a game.
