HD channels we still need.

I have Sky HD again on (yet) another offer, although it amounts to having tp pay £38 in my next bill and then getting the Family pack for £24 a month thereafter and having to have it for 12 months as well. So plenty of time to hope more HD channels launch as we still need a few more I think, too many shows in SD that could be in HD,
Yesterday - Shows a lot of what would be otherwise HD content in its schedule such as "Great British Railway Journeys" & "Coast" in amongst the SD only repeats and classic sitcoms.
Gold - has a lot of newer content in amongst all its repeats, if Gold HD existed, the new Rebel series and any new sitcom they make would be in HD (they must make these shows in HD yet I think are also in SD even on Sky Catch Up on demand), quite a lot of other newer programmes they repeat would be as well, such as Outnumbered, Miranda, Mrs Browns Boys, newer My Family, Come Fly With Me and everything else from about the past 8-10 years, as well as some things that were done on film, which would also include pretty much all films they show, the idea of Gold HD was dismissed because they wouldn't have enough to show, now they probably would have quite a lot.
Drama HD - There's a fair bit here too.
Perhaps we should also have Comedy Central Xtra HD, H2 HD, Discoverry Science HD, Discovery History HD & Pick HD.
The only new HD channels this year have been CNN HD & Boomerang HD, it has been very slow recently yet I think there is some more HD potential yet to go.
+1 channels don't appear much anymore either, H2+1 & Drama+1 could potentially be ones.

Yes agree like to see those, note there is a Science HD in the US, as well as a H2 HD.
H2 HD is on Virgin
I would like Spike HD
You forgot Nick Jr HD ( replaced MTV Live HD)
MTV Live HD has only left Sky, it is still on Virgin
Sky used to show the Uk & Ireland version of the channel. That shut down a few weeks back.
Virgin show the Euro version.
the new channels all seem to be for Ireland to.
I would like really channel to be HD to.
travel channel is another one I like.
And yet you can find Al Jazeera English in HD live on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBEmqvVPOX4
And also Sky News in HD whilst on satellite it's a pay channel.

And interestingly for me Saudi 1 which normally needs Hot Bird reception - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALydA58qX7A
Al Jazeera English has HD on Astra 1 & Hot Bird, hopefully it will be added to Astra 2 at some point as CNN has recently done.
