Hi deafwarrior. Welcome to the forum!
You are correct that the subtitling on the HD channels is patchy. As you may be aware, subtitling is only mandatory on those channels that are sufficiently popular. The channels are reviewed by Ofcom yearly, and
this year no HD channels have enough viewers to require subtitling.
Regarding 4HD, the Channel 4 website says:

Will Channel 4 HD have subtitles, signing or audio description?
We hope to get these services on the channel as soon as we can – but probably they won’t be available at inception.

I found
this regarding subtitling on ITV1HD.
You can add LIVING HD to your list of HD channels with subtitles, and (as far as I know) all the Sky HD channels have subtitles too.
You'd be doing me a big favour if you could check the subtitling status of all channels. We have
this in the forum Articles section, but it's very out of date. If you can provide me with an up to date list, I will update the article.
