Not the newer format with the studio commentary overlaid on top of it and it didn't always show all the important plays.
In the end the channel seemed like an afterthought for the league. Which is a shame because I liked watching it at the end of the day as a summary of the days events. They also had some great interviews with players and often showed the post game press conferences. But clearly having a superior broadcast was low on the priority list for the league. I thought they did a fine job for what limited resources they had.

While I'm sure the channel had some fans of the format like yourself, I doubt the decision to not take it to HD was a mistake. They likely saw investing in HD production for that channel as a way too expensive investment in that type of content. They likely new investment in a channel that provides nothing their fan base can't get from aps. Or inline in real time was not smart, and doomed for extension regardless of production quality.
