I hope we do not have to wait for the sale to be finalised to get Living HD as that means next year.
Sky appear to be providing their HD channels to Virgin pretty imminently.
Surely Living HD - which unlike Bravo HD etc does already exist and has for a year now - should come to Sky at the same time as Sky Sports HD, Sky 1 HD go to Virgin?
I beg to differ about ITV1HD Anglia being paired to ITVHD1 Central. Where I live I get Anglia West on 103 and have just been moved from ITVHD1 London to ITVHD1 Meridian.:)
I don't know if this would be relevent here or not but with all these HD channels starting is it not time to have a sortout of their places. A though for this would be to move the radio stations up slightly to say 0300 and move the hd channels to a place that starts with 01 this would then alough the first 6 to be on the listing as bbc1hd on 0101 itv hd on 0103 sky one hd on 0106 this would result in an easier use for some people to remember where the hd equivilent channels are. I know that this is different for the sport and movie channels but it could be worked.
As reported earlier today on one of the Digital Spy Forums
FilmFour HD is launching on the 8th July
on Virgin Channel Number 429
Sky Sports News HD is coming soon to Sky,
when it gets taken off Freeview
see www.sky.com/corporate for more details
ESPN America HD has launched on Sky Channel 431 on Monday
Channel Five HD is coming on Sky sometime in July
CNN HD has been rumoured, but I have no details
Looking at that schedule, it would seem that it wont be a simulcast channel, as Hallmark channel is showing The Mentalist at 9pm, where they are advertising 'CSI New York' in that timeslot on the HD channel.
Unless they change the main schedule at the last minute of course.. But if they don't, yay

I think it will be a simulcast, because the programmes do match up.
7pm Without a Trace - Both SD and HD
8pm Mentalist - SD Only
9pm CSI New York - Both SD and HD
10pm Law & Order - Both SD and HD
11pm Law & Order - Both SD and HD
The news on the hallmark channel does not mention Mentalist, so it could be it will be upscaled but only wanted to mention the Native HD programmes on the news page
Any news on the Halmark Channel then? Is it on 220 and what pleasures will we be able to see in glorious stunning HD or will it be a simulcast with the odd HD content in peak time shows???
Any dates for Living HD or five HD
how do I get this as a sticky?
who is the DS God who decides???
The one channel that I'm still missing which has some great shows on right now, all of which are native HD is Bravo, like Sparticus and Sons of Anarchy...
I beg to differ about ITV1HD Anglia being paired to ITVHD1 Central. Where I live I get Anglia West on 103 and have just been moved from ITVHD1 London to ITVHD1 Meridian.:)
Me too, even though I live in London
On Sky, I get ITV HD Meridian
and on Freesat I get ITV HD London
all with the Black Bar at the bottom of the screen
telling me to switch to ITV1 on Channel 103,
even on Freesat where I have the right region,
how bazar and of course no Subtitles!
rumours have intensified that five HD will go live on ch171 next Tuesday 13th July 2010.
i suspect the rumours are all true
QUOTE]
They are no longer rumours,
Five have announced the launch and supplied the info to Radio Times for next week that confirms it launches on Sky only on channel 171 with Neighbours, Home and Away, K Ville and Gray's Anantomy the only things in HD listed up to next Friday.

I bet some of the programmes will be shifted to Living

Sounds like that could be a great addition to the line up, give MTVNHD some competition

Only had a caption on so far saying it launches later today.
It does not give a time just 'today'. But the first HD programme according to the EPG is Without a Trace at 3pm.
Will let you know if that actually appears or not.
So far programming on channel 130 still not widescreen.Though the old shows on there may never have had W/S masters.
Adverts on 130 ARE seemingly in W/S as you can see the switch back to 4:3 for programming and promos,
Not sure if the ads have always been W/S on Hallmark SD before today as I always FFW!
The new Sky magazine promotes the new series of Ghost Whisperer AND the new series of Medium - later in July - both on Living.
But there is no mention of HD....so not a good sign of it being imminent.

when and at what number do we expect to see Living HD & Bravo HD
Looking forward 2 HD showings of
Ghost Whisperer
Medium
Spartacus Blood and Sand
The Gadget Show
only wish House & The Mentalist were Full HD Widescreen on Hallmark
I'll second that,I've been saying that for years and it was good to watch it on Information TV this afternoon.
I'm yearning for an HD version!
i suspect the rumours are all true
listings in national magazines have programmes listed as being in HD
would be nice if they would put our terrestrial HD equivalents together in the EPG
for example as below
ch171 - BBC1HD
ch172 - BBCHD
ch173 - ITV1HD
ch174 - CH4 HD
ch175 - five HD
(Not necessarily at those numbers but you get the point)
