Sadly not, only been announced as 'coming soon', along with Living HD.

Quite an eventfull couple of weeks for us. We stopped sky sports and movies and made other changes to phone and broadband and saved about Â£50/month. Then along came picture box, espn, and all these extra hd channels, all at no extra cost.

No date for Channel 4 HD - yet.

But I think Channel 4 HD will launch on Virgin TV sometime in August.

Hi Media Boy, have you any idea if ITVHD is joining the network, as l find it very strange that that channel is not joining.

I beleave ITVHD is still in an exclusive deal with freesat which was the main reason for launching as a interactive streme as appose to a regular channel to make it harder for sky to add it to there service.
