Time now for a thread we can always go to to get upto date info on any new HD channels confirmed and those rumoured.

When is FIVE HD coming?
Hallmark HD, testing? Channel number?
Sky2HD?
Sky Sports News HD?
BBC1HD?
Bravo HD?
Living HD?

Any chance this can happen?

Regards,

Dan.

Agreed we need this thread to be a sticky so people can be kept up to date on new channels without having to search the forum.

Great Idea - let's glue this thread!

hardly any chance of this going to happen since Sky2 turned into Sky1+1.

Not convinced they were testing for the UK. I thought the Travel Channel HD was for other countries such as Poland. Were they actually testing on Astra 28.2E?

Still no sign of ESPN America HD as yet.

The Anytime preview today has several programmes and a launch special confirming it will be on Sky channel 431 from today.

(In fact the preview says it is available now - which so far is untrue)

New addtions to the EPG usually do arrive in the morning, though.

Off topic, but did ESPN get all of the old Setanta EPG slots?

Wondered why ESPN America HD was launching on 431, and just realised it used to be Rangers TV.

This just appeared on Twitter from the Sky HD Team

The HD simulcast of ESPN America is available now on channel 431, including baseball, ice hockey and American football in high definition.

They simply bought what they wanted off the administrators.
Sky bought 418 (which used to be Setanta News) and used it for Sky Sports HD3.
Setanta (the new version of the company) managed to get 433/437 for MSK.

For the record, from reports and my observations. ESPN America HD went live on the EPG around 14.40 today.

ESPN America HD is now on Channel 431
and Hallmark will launch on the 28th of June
and Channel Five HD will launch some time in July

Sky said that they will launch
up to 50 HD Channels by December,
what those channels are or when they will launch is not known

Sky are fast tracking the launch of HD and 3D channels at the moment

I hope this helps and answers your questions
