Comcast Digital Cable Customers With HD Will Receive Jazz Games on Comcast Channel 657
Salt Lake City (April 17, 2008) Randy Rigby, President of Larry H. Miller Sports & Entertainment, announced today that KJZZ-14 will now broadcast Jazz games in High Definition (HD).
"The NBA Playoffs are big, but will now be even bigger in HD and the picture quality is spectacular," said Rigby.
KJZZ-TV plans to broadcast all 2008 Utah Jazz Playoff games in HD.
Viewers can receive the signal over the air or through a Comcast Digital Cable subscription with HD on Comcast channel 657. Over the air viewers with HD televisions can receive the signal via roof top antennae or rabbit ears. Over the air viewers with HD ready televisions that do not have built in HD tuners need a set top HD TV tuner in addition to the roof top antennae or rabbit ears to receive the signal. Set top HD TV tuners can be purchased at a variety of local retailers.
Customers of DirecTV and Dish Network may still pick up the KJZZ HD signal by using a regular rooftop antenna (or rabbit ears) depending upon your proximity and line-of-sight to the Wasatch front broadcast towers on Farnsworth Peak (the TV towers you can see on top of the Oquirrh mountain range on the west side of Salt Lake Valley. The towers are located due west from about 4800 South). Those that have an HD television can get the KJZZ HD signal on channel 14-1 through a home antenna.
If you are considering purchasing a rooftop antenna, here is a handy website to help you get the right size antenna and how to aim it. Just enter in your home address, and it will tell you everything you need. http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/Address.aspx
