Channel available in regular format, but needs subscription for HD?

[bjseth]

All of the channels that I can watch in "regular" mode that I have tried to access in their cooresponding HD channel have been available, however when I tried to watch SpeedTV in HD, I'm told that I am not subscribed. I'm not "subscribed" to the regular SpeedTV, and I can watch it there, but I have to subscribe to view the HD version? Huh?

Speed TV is a part of all our subscription packages. HD Speed TV is in available in all subscriptions except Premier, Essentials, Prime. The Premier and Essentials line up are outdated legacy packages, while Prime is our lowest tier offering. If you were to upgraded to Extreme or Ultimate, you would get this channel plus numerous others.
