Plans have changed and now we have the trailer for the channel showing on the Channel 4 channels saying July 20th and it will be on 432. I think you can forget it appearing on July 8th unless that's a "soft launch" for testing.

Plans have not changed that I'm aware of. Film4 are telling fibs. Although it is their channel though... It's definitely on 429 so not sure why they say different.

Notice where this "official" promo was posted....says it all.

It's a genuine ad from Film4 - I saw it on More4 the other day.

4. What will I need to view the Film4HD service?

The Film4HD service is available on Virgin HD channel 429. Virgin viewers will need to have a V+ HD Box and the appropriate subscription package.

Seeing as we all like to speculate. Heres my attempt;

Virgin will announce that all these channels
Sky Sports 1, 2, 3, 4 all HD
Sky Movies HD
FIVE HD
ESPN America HD
All other FIVE channels
will be available before the end of July

There will be no extra charge for any of these channels

sky seem to be playing on the fact that it is the only place to watch all football coverage in HD, so only HD 1 AND HD 2 me thinks. unfortunately

Five HD some info...

Dear Correspondent

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding Five HD which has been forwarded to us by Paul Leather.

This channel will launch on Tuesday 13th July on channel number 171 on Sky+ HD. The first HD programme will be the 13:45 episode of Neighbours, and the channel will be a simulcast of our main channel.

We are exploring options with regard to making Five HD available on other platforms such as the cable service provided by Virgin Media but no additional information is available at the moment.

If there is anything further we can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your interest in Five.

Yours sincerely

Ian
