Sun was actually planning to launch Sun News HD and Adithya HD along with Sun Bangla HD and Sun Marathi HD. Then the plan for the first two channels was replaced with Udaya Movies HD and Surya Movies HD, which was again replaced with Sun Neo and Sun Neo HD.
As of now, however, Sun doesn’t seem to be interested in launching any new HD channels, so I won’t include it.
Bro, this is just like Jaya TV HD. I don't see any difference. HD version is there in CableTV and SunNXT for around a year atleast. In CableTV even much longer if I am not wrong.

Yes bro, I agree that Sun News has been broadcasting in HD quality on cable for a long time, but since it’s not being marketed as an HD channel from the broadcaster (no separate HD logo) unlike Jaya HD, there is no point trying to include it there. Only those HD channels which are officially available from broadcasters can be included.

It is not necessary for broadcasters to add HD word in channel logo as previously too many HD channels have had logos without mention of the term HD...usually these r the channels which broadcasters want to make available in downloaded HD version too thereby catering to both SD + HD viewers thru 1 channel....if Sun News HD is available on Cable TV which means it is having valid TV Channel licence from MIB and maybe now they r expanding distribution of the same
Anna i think Airtel is running both the Downscaled SD and HD feed on its satellite so SD and HD Box subscribers would be getting respective feeds
Are SD subscribers also getting Downscaled HD feed of Sun News or Original SD feed? If former is the case then either thru some smart technology setup Airtel has added Sun News HD as single slot on its transponder and providing Downloaded HD and HD feed to its SD and HD subscribers respectively or they have added them on separate slots and providing the same....If SD subscribers still getting Sun News SD feed then again Airtel Digital TV is transmitting both SD and HD feeds via its satellite
If video resolution of this channel is indeed 1920★1080 then whichever of the above case holds true but SD subscribers r getting SD resolution feed/Downscaled HD version while HD subscribers r getting HD version.... both these r available on same LCN for SD as well as HD subscribers

Also please try to ask from them if Airtel Digital TV team has conveyed to them anything about forthcoming changes + channel addition on the platform which we have been anticipating since long.....LCN realignment, Enabling 4 Digit LCN Format, Migration to HEVC Compression for broadcast of HD channels, Intenet Based Live TV Channels availability on XStream Box and New Live TV App which is being developed , Cloud Recording + Catch Up TV option on XStream Box, Addition of more Apps on Airtel XStream OTT platform etc r some of the things which i am looking forward to
