Apparently, there are two more to come, but they are delaying their launch until after May to avoid any confusion when Sky rejig their EPG.
Freesports initially said that they would be going HD "on Sky", but have since indicated that they will also launch this channel on Freesat.
I think that the confusion arose as Freesports, like many people do unfortunately, used the term 'Sky' as a generic term for satellite.
There has been speculation that this launch may include closing the SD version of the channel to help with the extra costs involved, meaning that those without Freesat HD would lose out. Freesat HD boxes can be picked up cheaply though, especially second hand.
