BBC HD to show any England games?

Since I've had Sky HD installed we've had several England world cup qualifiers on Setanta and on ITV. Tonight we have the England vs Germany friendly, but once again it's only being shown on ITV.
Of course the world cup will be shown on the BBC in 2010, but that's 2 years away
Anyone know when the BBC are scheduled to show any England games (Pref qualifiers) on BBC HD.
It'll make me a very happy man

No.
As your own post already suggests, ITV and Setanta have the rights for England games up to the next world cup.

As previously mentioned, ITV and Setanta acquired the rights to England games. You can see here which games are on Setanta and therefore the rest are on ITV

With qualifiers (and I might be wrong about this) I believe Setanta have the away games and ITV the home.

And of course at Setanta HD probably stands for Huge Debts as they show nothing in HD whatsoever.
