Why do they always transmit their Hi Def programs on two channels?

From what I see, WMAH transmits three channels-

19 Analog
19.1 Digital
19.2 Digital HD

You may be confusing "DT" with "HD" and seeing both channels as the same.

On their website, I see only the schedules for Analog 19 and Digital
19.2. But on my TV, I'm picking up D19.1, D19.2, & D19.3 (plus analog
19). Analog 19 and D19.1 are always identical programing, even during
breaks between shows. And D19.2 & D19.3 normally each broadcast their
own unique programing. But just before a High Def show comes on, the
announcement is "The following broadcast is in High Definition" (or
words to that effect). At which point 19.1 and 19.2 and Analog 19 all
broadcast the exact same programming simutaneously. I've never noticed
simultaneous programming on D19.3. It's always doing it's own thing.
I don't doubt I'm confused. I don't even know what "DT" stands for.
