MTV HD is actually a separate network from Palladia. My real question is when will MTV HD, CMT HD, and VH1 HD actually air any content in HD? They seem to be just sourcing the exact same video as the SD versions. Widescreen programs end up with black bars on all four sides!

I have MTV HD, CMT HD, and VH1 HD and there is nothing Hd that i seen since i have a few months now, i only seen one show "Real World" in HD just one time only,after that no more HD on them channels

MTV HD shows first-run episodes of the Real World and the Island in HD. They also showed the VMAs. Other than that, it's pretty sparse.

MTV networks idea of HD is maybe 1-3 hours a day. this isn't worth giving them the channel space. they are pretty lame at their level of true HD content

It seem's most of the Viacom channels don't have many hours of HD
