My FSN (FSN Ohio and FSN Ohio Cincinnati subfeed) didn't have the game in HD on my provider, but I heard that similar channels in Detroit and St. Louis did have the game in HD.

Having the game in HD could depend on your area and/or provider.

They've done this before too - sometimes they pick the same game sometimes they don't. I suspect it'll be on and off based on the teams.

FSI sublicensed 68 matches to DirecTV Inc., including 5 matches on each playing day of Match Days 1-6 (and 2 matches on each playing day of the 4th qualifying round in August.)

If FSE had aired something other than Lyon vs Liverpool, it would have been on a non-exclusive basis (and shared with DirecTV.)

One suspects that FSI officials determined that the other matches were NOT big enough so FSE went with Lyon vs Liverpool (shared with FSC).

MSG had the game in HD.
