Also, 'Eurosport HD' on EPG 412.

Presumably, Dansky+HD means 'Eurosport 2 HD'?

As for his/her wish list, I think most of those are possible, but it'll certainly be a while, well in my opinion.

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.
I recently asked a similar question and got an identical response. In all honesty they are unlikely to tell us of course until they announce it to the world. Fingers crossed for Tue 21 Feb or Thu 1 Mar perhaps?

A copy and paste answer ? If you remember we all got identical responses when e-mailing various broadcasters about the obtrusive DOG ruining our viewing enjoyment

Looks like MTV HD is possibly on its way.
What about channel 358 on Sky?

I deliberately left that one out as Eurosport HD on 412 is the HD version of Eurosport International and as far as I can tell shows the same programming as the Eurosport Analogue channel (in English and German) and Eurosport Germany digital channel on Astra 1 and is very often different to the Eurosport UK SD channel on 28 East.

358 is MTVN HD which is all music videos/concerts.

MTV HD which is testing now will be a HD version of 126 (no music, all shows).

I saw a promo last night advertising new programmes coming soon and it ended with an MTV HD logo, so the launch must be imminent.

Didn't realise that, so that therefore explains why the channel listed on EPG 412 reads 'Eurosport HD', rather than 'Eurosport UK HD'.

Would love Animal Planet HD!

I'd also like pretty much all the other documentary channels to have a HD version.
