 On 5 December 2016, Channel 22.2 was made a must-carry channel for Mexican pay television providers.From 2016 to 2019, Canal 22.2 was broadcast in HD using MPEG-4 (ATSC A/72) video encoding, which is not compatible with all television sets.This allowed it to be sent at a bitrate of 6 Mb/s instead of the 10 Mb/s minimum required by IFT multiplexing and technical guidelines for an MPEG-2-encoded HD subchannel.
