NCAA Tournament on TruTV HD Channels by Provider
With the changes to the broadcasting deal the NCAA has. The NCAA Tournament will be on TruTV (formerly Court TV) now. At this point I am guessing you have never heard of TruTV, and the first thing you said is where can I find TruTV?. We figured we should get ahead of the curve, and start trying to find where we can get TruTV in HD right now.
TruTV will have select games throughout the tournament including the first four games which are now called the first round. Here is the full NCAA tournament schedule.
If you have a channel to add to this list please leave a comment and I will update it as they come.
| Confirmed TruTV HD Channels | |||
| Provider | Location | Channel | |
| Dish Network | National | 204 | |
| DirecTV | National | 246-1 | |
| AT&T U-Verse | National | 1164 | |
| Comcast | National | Varies | |
| Cablevision | All Affiliates | 58 | |
| Time Warner | National | Digital HD | |
| Insight Communications | Lexington, KY; Columbus, OH | 995 | |
| Verizon FiOS | New York | 683 | |
Wikipedia claims that TruTv is available in HD on Cox cable, but I could not find any affiliates that actually carry the channel. Please let me know if there are some that carry it, and I have overlooked them. As of this time Charter and DirecTV and probably many other cable providers do not carry this channel in HD. Here’s to hoping we get some sub channels.
***Update DirecTV tweeted that all the games will be in HD, so no more need for the pitchforks.

Insight Communications in Lexington, KY and Columbus, OH carry TruTV HD Channels. In both markets it is on channel 995. Hoping that Insight picks up this channel in their Louisville markets before the tourney.

I emailed DirecTV to ask if they were going to add an HD feed of TruTV prior to the tourney, or at least carry a separate HD channel for these games…they said no.

Yeah I’m in Kansas no trutv HD on COX. I just emailed them to ask if they were going to add it in time for 3/15 and they acted like there is no HD feed available to anyone. I promptly fired back with this list but I will be out of luck. What a shame this is the best sporting event of the year and it won’t be all in HD. And it is not just the First Four Tru tv has a ton of the games! Ridiculous

It’s unlikely DirecTV will have TruTV by the tourney, but they’re doing their normal grouping of all the HD feeds along with a mix channel in the 700 range. This is probably the best use of bandwidth since Tru has little compelling programming, HD or otherwise, at any other time of year.

Correction to my last post in that it appears that the 13 games on TruTV will NOT be in HD on DirecTV, unfortunately. This according to reliable sources on dbstalk.com.

Now in HD on DirecTv. Great News.

Add Charter Wisconsin to the list of TruTV HD carriers; it’ll be on Channel 651.

TruTV HD has been to the COX lineup in Oklahoma City. It is on channel 710.

I guess you can add 246-1 for DirecTV, I think that’s where it was listed when I looked in my program guide yesterday (although doesn’t seem to show up in the guide on their website).

Time Warner in Kansas City does NOT have TruTV in HD. It is channel 47.

No TruTV HD in Dayton, OH on TW, and we are hosting the first-round games – not good!!

It looks exactly the same as channel 53. Does insight know how to put an hd channel on right?
March 14th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
TruTV HD is in fact in 995 in Louisville, KY. It is in HD, it is not the same as the regular channel.
March 15th, 2011 at 2:02 pm
TruTV HD on Cox in Northern Virginia is 895. Not yet listed in their online channel lineup.
March 15th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Just got off the phone with TimeWarner, they do not have the rights to broadcast TruTV in HD. Digital HD channel listed above does not exist.

TW, in Hawaii, no HD for trutv. Normal TW service, poor quality, high cost, limited selection, and double talk. Digital trutv per TW above is not HD, it is digital. Would drop TW in a minute if could find another provider in this condo.
