Why still in sd for JMovie Channles

Ok this has gone on long enough! I don;t get it or understand why XFINITY can not get HBO channels (besides the main one) all in HD?? Including Max, Showtime? It makes no sense! It's been like this forever and it has to come to and END!!! Xfinty we all have 4k tvs and it is time to stop broadcasting those movie channels in SD and put them in HD!! Come on this is redicuals! I can';t enjoy a movie anymore on HBO when it is in SD! Time to cut this out and end the SD!

There are lots of HD channels on Xfinity but sometimes I can see some valid reasons why people would still prefer SD versions of channels.

If you want the best picture quality automatically when you view these channels, go here to learn:

FYI , ON Demand may have HD content as well for the channels you are paying for.

Good morning @user_mbj45y, the individual networks determine the programming format, and we broadcast the feed provided by the network. WE do not control what is broadcast in SD or HD

Right and yet Xfinity has to always talk to the provider to get a new contract going.. In that negotation should should be talks about what channels they can keep.. so far ove the past Decade Xfinity has always failed to talk to like Paramount and Discovery to allow them  to get their channels in HD.. THey need to go back and talk to them and work things out to sign  a better contract so they can those channels in HD finally, like they did with FLIX..
