HD network upgrade: 2019 conversion and launch schedule

We want you to enjoy high definition at its best, so we’re making major upgrades to our network. When completed, nearly all channels will be carried in HD.

The following charts detail exactly when each channel will be upgraded from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 in 2019. To learn more about what this means, please review our Learn more about the HD network upgrade page.

Quick notes:

  • SD channel drop means your channels will only be available in HD.
    Channel numbers will be different and are provided below. (NOTE: MPEG4 HD receiver required to access the HD channels)
  • Convert from 'MPEG2 SD' to 'MPEG4 HD' means the SD channel will be converted to HD.
    Channel numbers will remain the same. (NOTE: MPEG4 HD receiver required to access the channels once they've been converted to MPEG4 HD).
