I'd assume HD is required, and a big cable package that includes this obscure channel IF your cable provider carries it.
I'd have to look into it.

If I have it, I'll watch it, but it's definitely not a channel everyone has access too, nor one that they know where to find if they do.
HDNET appears to be a network running other people's leftovers. Their big hits all appear to come from CW and other networks, and most of the "original" programming and the like they air also appears to be (or in a few cases, appears to be similar to) the same stuff run on the other HD broadcast networks in the country. For example, most of the programming they're advertising is on the UHD network I get with Comcast.

Which, admittedly, is a shame, because I would watch it if I got it, but it's unlikely I'll get HDnet any time soon with UHD already a part of my cable lineup. Also, not being on TWC.

Currently, it looks like they have about a third of the market, in terms of options. That's assuming they have HD service in your area, this is part of the package, and you have an HD box. So in reality, the number's probably a lot lower, but it's better than some of the TV deals we've seen rumored. On the other hand, it really does drive home that "national" is more a technicality than any sort of real bragging point. They do have a larger market in Direct TV, at least, which is still something.
