Freeview, which provides UKTV with its greatest channel reach, is not a particularly attractive platform for HD rollout, forecast to support only 424,000 HD homes by end of year 2011. To reach a significant audience therefore, any new FTA HD channels must launch on satellite and hit the 1m Freesat HD subscribers and 4.5m Sky HD subscribers and Virgin have about 1.8 million HD subscribers as well.
Good Food HD and Eden HD will also launch on Virgin Media in 2011
