Cable Forum - View Single Post - One or two new channels coming to Freesat.

Another as yet unamed HD channel is due to join soon. My thoughts are:

CNN International, Al Jazeera, and Bloomberg already broadcast FTA in HD, so must be the most likely options.

Iran International and Record TV also broadcast FTA in HD, so can't be discounted.

Insight appear to be keen to increase their presence as they are in discussions with Virgin Media to carry them. Getting onto Freesat would be much easier, so I certainly wouldn't rule them out.

Maybe Sky are to finally make Sky News HD available?
