I'm sure Sky Movies Premier HD was rumoured years ago but it seems they have finally launched a plus one but it's Channel 4. Probably as C5 HD isn't on Freeview nor E4 HD.

When did/will this start?
As BBC3 SD will be replaced by BBC1 +1 SD, does anybody know if BBC3 HD will become BBC1 +1 HD?
Channel 4 + 1 HD and 4 seven HD launched today on Freeview.
The answer to your other question is likely to be Yes.
Thanks. I wonder if the new Channel 4 HD channels will launch on Virgin Media and/or satellite?
4Viewers said Freeview only however a trusted channel 4 employee on DS has said suggested (but not confirmed) that there are plans to launch on other platforms.
I was under the impression that these channels were being launched on new Freeview capacity that they are finding hard to fill.
It would be disappointing if BBC 3 HD became BBC 1 + 1 HD - a huge chunk of the country can't receive COM 7. It would make far more sense to put BBC 4 HD in its place.
"We appreciate the time you have taken to email in relation to the launch for 4SEVEN and CHANNEL 4+1 in HD. We are sorry to advise that unfortunately these channels will not be available on other platforms such as Sky, Freesat and VirginMedia.
We appreciate any disappointment this may cause, but we would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for taking the time to contact us here at Channel 4."
