Maybe to 108 if the BBC ONE HD regions arrive in time to move them to channel 101. Nothing conclusive yet.

Still not appeared on Digital Spy Forum.
Do you know if Zee TV HD is also testing.

The BBC proposed that the new BBC Three channel should appear within the top 24 slots of EPGs and that Ofcom should expedite this process and require EPG providers to implement this as soon as reasonably possible. The BBC also stated that, to help minimise disruption, it would rationalise its existing slots to release slots for the new channel in the EPG where possible. It explained that this could be achieved if the BBC successfully launched HD versions of all BBC One and BBC Two SD regional variants. This would mean
that the BBC would no longer require prominent HD and SD listings for both BBC One and BBC Two in England and Northern Ireland on Sky and Virgin Media O2, or across the UK on Freesat.The table below sets out the BBC’s expected EPG slots when the BBC has rationalised its slots.

Maybe BBC THREE HD will launch on Channel 157 until Channel 4 HD launches later this year.
