Sky HD just got a few extra feathers in its high definition cap, with news that ITV HD and the Hallmark Channel, among others, are headed to the extra sharp service. If you’re looking at Freeview HD, but just can’t get enough of crystal clear Diagnosis Murder, some tough choices will have to be made…
Starting from 2 April, ITV HD will begin broadcasting on Sky HD, meaning you’ll be able to cop plenty of Champions League and World Cup action in high def.
The Hallmark Channel HD meanwhile will land on Sky HD a few months later, on 28 June, while 29 April sees the launch of Sky Sports HD 4 on Sky HD.
That puts the number of channels available on Sky HD to 40, with Sky revealing it has plans to reach 50 by year’s end.
That puts Sky HD far ahead of Freeview HD and Freesat of course, but can you live without Monk in HD in exchange for a one off up front price? Stay tuned, as the HD telly wars are only just beginning.
Out April | £TBC | Sky
