History Channel HD Launches
The worldwide debut of a high definition service for The History Channel will start transmission tomorrow. The channel will broadcast daily from 8am until 2am on Sky channel number 545 and all programmes on the channel will be in high definition.
The History Channel HD will be programmed by The History Channel UK and will offer a separate schedule to the standard definition channel.
The schedule will include a wide range of programmes in HD, including UK premieres of Engineering an Empire, Warrior Empire: The Mughals, and The Sahara, as well as HD versions of The Plague, The Crusades: Crescent & The Cross, and Beyond the Da Vinci Code.
Richard Melman, UK Channel Director said: “We’re delighted and proud to launch The History Channel HD in the UK. The stunning quality of the pictures adds a new dimension to our programmes. The channel is entirely scheduled with programmes originated in high definition. From the grains of sand that make up the Sahara to the gold leaf of the ancient manuscripts. This is the future of History.”
Comment: just right for first adopters but how much upconverted content will there be?
