nba tv hd is a 1080i high definition simulcast of nba tv. all studio programs and original shows are shot in hd, and all live games and recent game rebroadcasts are shown in hd. for programs not available in hd (such as older game footage), unique stylized pillarboxes are used, the nba logo with "nba tv" under it, or alternately, just "nba tv" sideways. both are in black and gray
