Shouldn't that be "excluding BBC One, BBC Two, ITV 1, Channel 4, Channel 5, and Gold? None of them are in HD in the lower 20 channels. (And, yes, before some idiot makes the obvious point that 4, 5, and ITV 1 are available in the "upper numbers", that's not what the preceding poster said.)
Apologies. My post wasn't clear.

I was making the point that HD content is now available on the first 20 branded channels. (i.e BBC One/Two/Three/Four programmes are in available in HD, albeit further down the list)

Is there any rumours or news?

Sky Christmas HD as per last year.

Could do with Sky Sports 3D & Sky Movies 3D & Sky 3D for all other content.

Also a Sky 3D box office so the FREE channel has no restrictions to view if you have the channel

Would satisfy several complaints about needing sky world but I think they may put a price on the channel(s) prob about £5 or £10.

Hope this makes sense,

Regards,

Dan.

The first 2 were confirmed by Sky for 2011

Both CBS channels were given licenses earlier this year

What happened to Gold HD, why there are no plans for Gold HD?

Because the VAST majority of the programmes they show aren't available in HD?

"the anticipated launch of More4HD in 2011" was the quote, not confirmed.

This is where the conformations of TCM HD & Animal Planet HD originally came from a few months ago.

Worth a try - sent that Sky Powerpoint link to Mr Ted Turner (joking) at TCM asking if they have a rough estimate of when it goes live. Others posting here have asked and got a "no intention to broadcast HD" standard reply. Perhaps sight of the above document may help.... we'll see.

I presume Sky have opened up their EPG allocation service again? What will be the next HD channel?

DS member jimbo has posted this in the "Sky & Satellite Weekly News" thread-
UPDATE

3831 on 12.188 H now has sound - so it is MTV UK with full service.
Looks like MTV HD is possibly on its way.

Good spot - although channel 4 viewer inquires remain as cold about it as ever:

I sent an email asking when it would appear (and Film4HD on Sky) and got this response:

Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding MORE4 HD and FILM4 HD.

We would love Film4 HD to be available on Sky and all other broadcast platforms, but at the moment it is only available to Virgin subscribers and we do not currently have any information about the launch of More4 HD.

We hope this will change in the future and please be assured your interest has been logged and noted for the information of those responsible for our programming.
