    Those anxious for more HD through Bell Canada can add one more to their list of options, as Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) is finally delivering an HD version of the channel on the aforesaid carrier. Unfortunately, Bell Canada is currently the only way to receive the HD feed (it's on channel 808, by the way), and it's slated to carry 16.5-hours of distinctive HD programming per week. Notably, the HD version of the network will simply be a higher quality simulcast of the SD feed -- opting to differentiate programming between the two would have required APTN to apply for a totally separate license from the CRTC.
