Jump to search
This is a Master List of current high-definition channels that are available in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. All HD channels in the UK broadcast at 1080i, except on Freeview and Sky Q where HD channels can dynamically switch between 1080i50 and 1080p25.
HD swap and prominence of HD channels: Sky, Freesat & Virgin Media Ireland only
On Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media Ireland, in genres with HD channels, channel numbers sometimes differ between HD boxes and standard boxes.
Sky
Non-premium subscription channels - for those who subscribe to one of Sky's entertainment bundles, the HD channels of subscription channels on the HD box are "HD swapped" with the SD counterpart, giving the HD version of the channel greater prominence in the EPG.
Subscribers to the Sky Cinema Bundle get both the SD and HD versions of the Sky Cinema channels and the HD versions are given greater prominence on the EPG. This is regardless of which entertainment bundle is subscribed to.
Sky Sports subscribers receive both the SD and HD versions of the Sky Sports channels, with the HD versions more prominent. Those with an SD only TV can watch in SD but pay for HD regardless.
For free-to-air channels the HD channel is generally in the more prominent position on all HD boxes, regardless of subscription. However, in the case of a small number of channels with regional variations in their programming or advertising (BBC One, BBC Two, ITV and Channel 4) the HD version only in the more prominent position in areas of the UK that receive identical HD and SD versions. On an SD box the SD version is always more prominent than the HD version.
For certain premium channels (BT Sport Channels and AMC), the HD swap applies only for subscribers to those channels.
The number shown in the Sky column in the tables below is the most prominent number for the HD version of the channel.
Freesat
On HD boxes the HD channels are given prominence over the standard definition counterpart. The HD channel does not appear on the EPG of SD boxes. The number shown in the Freesat column in the tables below is the most prominent HD number.
Virgin Media Ireland
On Horizon set top boxes, the HD channels are listed where the SD channels normally would be. These SD channels mostly don't appear on the usual HD number (except for Virgin Media Sport in the sports section). The number shown in the Virgin Media Ireland column in the tables below is the most prominent HD number.
