Some broadcaster are open and honest and alot of the time this sort of information is free on there websites, press releases and in some cases there Qtr reports - alot have future plans etc.

Like I know from reading both ESPN & Discovery results/plans both are spending alot of money HD content (HD channel and on demand)

ESPN are looking into ESPN America HD and also ESPN2 (Not HD yet for 2 but it seems they might use ESPN HD for both ESPN and ESPN2)

Discovery are looking into releasing Animal Planet HD - its already in the US so its down to Discovery Euorpe to release also Discovery have huge amount of on demand HD content but again its currently US only.
The likes of

TLC HD
Science HD
Planet Green HD
Animal Planet HD
HD Theater - (This is shown in 1080i and 5.1 digital surround)

US HD content is huge - yes they have more channels (most show rubbish) but there HD content on the good channels is second to non.

Us in the UK are way behind the HD curve even SKY.
