The free HD channels are available to customers who have an HDTV as well as an HD set-top box. We have a few HD boxes for you to choose from, please call customer care for details. Once you have both an HDTV and an HD set-top box you will have access to our free HD channels. These channels are HD simulcasts of the standard definition channel and thus are given to BendBroadband free of charge by the programmer because we carry the standard definition channel. The HD channels start with the number 6 and 7 and end with the same two digits as the standard definition channel. For example, KOHD standard definition resides on channel 9, the HD channel resides on channel 609.

We also offer premium HD channels in our HD Plus Package. These channels come at an extra fee and include channels such as Universal HD, HDNet and MGM HD. The HD Plus package costs $9.95 and includes 8 channels. BendBroadband charges for these channels simply because programmers charge us to carry them. For more information on HD channels, HD Plus and set-top boxes call us at 382-5551.
