The web site, which compiles listings of sports programs in high-def, says a CBS official tells it that the network's coverage "will most likely be in the neighborhood of 6-7 games/week in HD."
The network, which airs up to eight American Football Conference games a week, last season provided 5-6 games a week in high-def, often airing one or two games in standard-def.
The decision irked many football fans, particularly those in cities which received the SD broadcasts.
CBS said in 2006 that it hoped to provide all games in high-def by the 2008 or 2009 season. Fox has committed to airing all National Football Conference games in HD this season.
