A little research indicates the channel itself doesn't broadcast in HD. SD only. Not much Dish can do here. Try mailing the station itself..

Yeah, it's hard to make a channel HD that doesn't broadcast that way...

NOT IN HD but rural TV is really family net which appears to be downrezzed to sd because when I watch a classic tv show the channel identifies itself as family net HD..even tho dish carries it in SD only

Copy that. Now I'm clear. Thank you.

What channel is rural? Guessing 39x?

Which in turn begs the question... If all they show is classic TV that's only originally recorded in 480.. why would you want it in HD???
I do watch it myself, but would find HD pointless...
Channel 232

The difference is astounding, even on old shows. We have TVLand in HD on DirecTV and Andy Griffith looks a thousand times clearer and better in HD.

That's one of the only channels we watch on DirecTV.

The increased bandwidth of an HD channel makes a big difference.

how does the bandwidth increase why dont they convert some of there channels to over the internet save bandwidth on sat and convert them to video over the inter and for those who do not have fast internet get them so there channels ARE DELIVERER OVER SATELLITE
