High Definition Delivered Posted: 05/26/2009 10:15 AM (General)
Midcontinent Communications is excited to bring customers the best HD experience possible. Our HD service is just one of the ways we provide the latest technology and the best programming to our customers thoughout our service area.
Owning an HDTV is just one step in being able to enjoy the benefits of a true HD quality signal. Older analog and even the newer digital-tuner TVs can produce good picture quality, but without an HDTV, you simply are not enjoying the true quality HD has to offer.
To access the HD programming, you will also need an HD receiver. Customers with a receiver that do not have the Preferred Cable line-up can still view the local broadcast channels that may be available in your area and customers that subscribe to the Preferred Cable line-up will also enjoy the many HD cable channels currently available.
It's important to also remember that even though the channel is available in HD, this does not necessarily mean you are watching it in HD. Each HD channel provides a variety of programs in both HD and non-HD quality. In order for the program to be HD, the program must be produced and transmitted in HD on an HD channel.
HD programming is limited to the programming provided to Midcontinent Communications in HDTV format by the provider. We continue to look for new and better ways to provide you the very best HD entertainment available.
There are currently no plans to add NFL RedZone HD for this season. We will keep you informed.

Any chance Grand Forks cable customers could get the HD KVRR broadcast until KBRR goes to HD?
