I put out an APB with the people I know from HOT 93.7 on FACEBOOK. See if I get an answer.

If there's a problem with the HD2 transmitter, there's a problem with the HD1 transmitter and the HD3 transmitter. aka No HD

Stations can shut off the HD2 while keeping the HD1 up, can't they? That was the case, at least some of the time, when the HD2s on 92.5 and 105.9 were down.

That is correct, Nick is wrong here. The HD2 requires an Ethernet stream to come from the station to the transmitter to work. (Unless the station is doing some sort of unique situation where the station delivers the HD2 via an audio pair to the transmitter and it is encoded into ethernet up there). HD1 comes from the main audio pair, either as a seperate AES audio pair or combined. It is actually possible to have an HD2 on, and HD1 airing dead silence! (If the HD1 audio processor dies, for instance). WZMX uses a seperate HD and Analog transmitter (well they did as of several years ago), and I doubt much has changed.
