No idea how long it's been there, but I've just noticed NHK World HD broadcasting on Sky 507.

EDIT: 9th May apparently! http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2011/05/09/nhk-world-hd-launches-on-eurobird/

Not to mention it's also free to view and available on Freesat.

Gosh - 2 new HD channels in as many months - Fressat, you're really spoiling us! [/irony]. So much for the "more HD Channels coming soon" tag that Freesat had a few years ago. It took ages for Channel 4 HD to appear, there's still only 5 HD Channels on Freesat: BBC One HD, BBC HD, ITV1 HD, Channel 4 HD and now NHK World HD. If you change the mode of a freesat box to non-freesat (FTA) mode, you also get Luxe HD apparently, but I've never really seen anything worth watching on it.

Or Sky channel 518 if, like me, you only get the free HD channels.
