I thought this was a sticky thread so people could see new channels at a glance, not see peoples fantasy lists, defeats the object, surely?

Ginx TV (videogames channel) is due to start at the end of this month - they are planning an HD version, but it is unconfirmed if it will appear at launch.

Channels I would love to see are:
Sky3HD BravoHD (Yes I know it's going but meh )DaveHD Channels I think we *might* see in 2011: Sky2HD (Possible new home for content when Bravo and Channel 1 close?) E!HD Cartoon networkHD Animal PlanetHD Disney ChannelHD (Pretty shocked it's not out already TBH) DMAXHD WatchHD AlibiHD BlightyHD Possible channels: Film4HD More4HD GoldHD? (I know...but they did the same with ITV3HD) Channels I don't think we'll see: FiverHD/FiveusaHD (Five probaly can't fund them) BBC2HD - People have talked of this I don't see it coming off, BBCHD seem to be doing well as it is. CBS channels in HD - I just can't see this coming off. Last edited by Jib111 : 26-11-2010 at 15:37. Reason: Spelling |

Can't remember where I had the info from.......Somewhere on this forum i am sure..... They replied : "Thank you for your recent message to Travel Channel. We are in ongoing talks with TV operators abd we hope Travel Channel HD will be available in the UK in the future. Travel Channel in SD is currently available on Sky (channel 251) in the UK Warm Regards, Tess" Doesn't tell us much, but that's the company's official stance at the moment. |

CBS Action HD and CBS Drama HD were granted Ofcom licences today so should be launching sometime soon.
RTÉ are not going to launch a seperate 'best of' HD service, but instead turn RTÉ TWO into RTÉ TWO HD and have it as a HD only channel. On DTT in ROI, there is no SD version of RTÉ TWO, only RTÉ TWO HD and it plans to do the same for satellite too. |

RTÉ plan to have all the DTT channels converted to HD soon after switchover so there will be no SD services on DTT, all MPEG4 HD only. All STB's for the ROI DTT service will be able to output via HDMI for those with HDTV's and also by SCART for those that don't so everyone can still watch even if they don't have a HDTV.
When RTÉ TWO HD launches on satellite to replace RTÉ TWO, it will still be available as it is now to NI viewers, however programmes such as sport may still be blocked as it is currently, so investing in an aerial to get RTÉ DTT might be an idea, especialy as the signal is being boosted with no NI restrictions in 2012. You'l get RTÉ ONE, RTÉ TWO, TV 3, TG 4, 3e, "RTÉ News", "RTÉ Jr" and "RTÉ Plus" for free along with a load of Irish radio stations. |

Well, if you pop along to the Ofcom website and look at the licences page yourself, they're there for all to see, but just in case....
