To get true HD quality, they would have to get ahold of HD transfers for all those classic films. Judging from the lack of classics/catalogue titles on HDM disk, it doesn't look like HD classics are a priority for the studios. HD DVD has a few more than Blu-Ray (and they are outstanding!!), but HD DVD is dead.
But who knows, maybe these channels could go HD and help subsidize the cost of upgrading the films to HD. Then the studios would begin releasing them on Blu-Ray and we can all be happy.
But I doubt it.
