There is a quiet but deep shift underway as television moves away from standard definition. Plans to transition to high definition began earlier and have progressed toward a broader rollout, with milestones set to complete in the near term. This modernization focuses on two key outcomes: improving the viewing experience and freeing up system resources for newer services.
On one side, the elimination of several channels that have been maintained in standard definition will create space within the system. Freed bandwidth can be repurposed to enhance other services, including higher resolution formats such as 4K and the expansion of 5G related capabilities, all aimed at delivering sharper pictures and faster connections for viewers.
Combining high definition
As the transition unfolds, many new television buyers or those using decoders that can tune to high definition are ensuring their equipment is ready. Regardless of the exact definition a viewer selects, one trend is clear: channels are progressively stopping broadcasts in lower quality and are beginning to offer full HD streams instead.

In past communications, some channels did not offer a high definition option. The current plan is to implement HD broadcasting across these channels as part of the ongoing modernization set to begin February 14th and to continue through subsequent weeks.

Similar announcements indicated that several channels would add HD capabilities within the timelines described, marking a shift from earlier formats to higher fidelity broadcasts. The intention is to ensure viewers experience crisper visuals and more stable performance as the upgrade progresses.
Broadcasts that were already in HD began appearing earlier in the year, with additional channels slated to join the HD lineup. The schedule included targeted dates for completing the rollout and aligning all channels with the new standard, so households could plan their viewing accordingly.

The overall aim remains to deliver a consistent HD experience across the platform, ensuring that viewers can access higher quality broadcasts without needing additional equipment changes beyond the standard set-top box capabilities. This shift represents a modernization of both the network and the viewing experience, moving away from legacy standards toward clearer images and faster service delivery.
