Only Fox from that list is available in HD and it was just a rebranding, not a new channel.

Film4 HD was announced in Sept. 2012 as coming to Sky. We were later told that we would need to wait a whole year 'till Sept. 2013. for it to appear. So will it now be Sept 30th as no sign of it appearing in first week of Sept. according to listing magazines?

Tis strange, especially since it's been broadcasting for a month already. What's stopping them adding it to the EPG?

Film4HD was exclusive to Virgin for quite a while I guess that when that exclusitivity ends it will launch on the Sky platform.

Nobody knows an exact time, I'm not talking specifically about film4, any new channels are added to the EPG mid-late morning normally, added just whenever someone at sky presses the button after their coffee break.

Don't think there was ever any official news on it actually launching other than a director (I think) of Box Nation saying they were going to launch in HD in August. So he may have been too ambitious.

Is there any news/info on Comedy Central Extra launching in HD?

There's plenty of HD content usually on the channel so it'd be a nice addition, for me anyway

115
With other platforms mirroring Sky as they have widest HD channel list and free view use LCN's under 100 this would be easy to implement.
