They have incorrectly labelled FreeSports HD as Freesports HD in the EPG.

Those all launched whilst there were still SD only V boxes on the network, so both versions were needed.
Those boxes are all either swapped or decommissioned now, and the remaining boxes with Scart outputs can downscale HD. So there is no need to have both an SD and HD version of Gold.
There are quite a few other HD only channels on Virgin Media now.
