"Thanks for writing. I'm sorry to hear that you are not able to get the Portland Trailblazers' game in HD. While we do carry FSN in HD in certain parts of their coverage area, we cannot provide FSN in HD to you because our HD satellite "spot beam" doesn't quite reach your area.

Some background:
We deliver FSN's HD feed to the coverage area using the same technology we use to deliver local channels to the Portland, OR (Multnomah county) market area. This technology is known as a satellite spot beam and it covers the areas immediately around the city like a spotlight. In zip codes near the outer edges of a "spot beam," we aren't able to offer local channels or FSN in HD because there is a possibility that another satellite spot beam will overlap and cause interference. As a result, even though you do live within the FSN local coverage area, you live in a zip code where we are not able to deliver it to you. I'm sorry for any inconvenience

We're in the process of expanding our HD offerings and, as we gain more capability to broaden the coverage of the territory, we will do so and expect to continue expansion of these HD offerings this year. "
