Is there any actual HD content on this channel?

All I've noticed in HD so far are recent movies, all the usual broadcasts are not true HD - which I found a bit disappointing.

It's as bad as Sky One HD, if not worse.

Has anyone worked out how many hours of 'actual' HD footage are shown (not including BBCs 'preview' trailer') on these channels? It's probably about 10 hours a week.
