What if it's a channel such as MTVHD which offers 0% of its programming in HD?carl6 said:If a channel provides HD, but only has 10% of it's programming in HD, it might get a lower priority for being added - take longer before you see it.
DirecTV may have a clause in the retrans agreement, where they had to offer it by X date, or perhaps, they are getting it for free.bryanw3535 said:What if it's a channel such as MTVHD which offers 0% of its programming in HD?

Like I said: "it all comes down to negotiations with the content providers". What channels are provided and when is a business decision that has many variables to be considered.bryanw3535 said:What if it's a channel such as MTVHD which offers 0% of its programming in HD?
