Channels with HD Pack?

Hi. Are the following channels available with the HD Pack please?

Sky Comedy HD
Sky Action HD
Sky Family HD
Sky Drama HD
Sky SciFi HD

I am not referring to the Movie channels that have similar names.

I have the full variety pack plus the HD Pack but I'm denied access to the above channels. The programmes on those channels look old so I doubt they're premium channels. Should I be able to view them?

Thanks.

Gary,

There are only movie channels in HD under those names.

Follow this link to Wikipedia, it shows all the HD channels available:

Sky+ HD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Channels with HD Pack?

Thanks for clarifying that, Ross, also for the Wikipedia link.

Seems that most HD content in the HD Pack are documentaries and arts. I can't stretch to the Movie subscription unfortunately as I'd only get time to watch about 1 film a week so I'd be better off renting Blu Ray discs.

Wikipedia mentions a new EPG launching later this year. It would have been 3 years in the making by then! Good grief. That's how long it took to build the world's tallest and widest cable bridge! ;-)
