Colors HD test label appears on Sky in UK

Colors HD is expected to begin testing on Sky Digital ahead of the festive break after a label appeared oFf the Sky EPG earlier today.

Currently, the test label is showing just a Sky McR test card, along with dual stereo tone. This will soon be replaced with a HD feed of the channel’s broadcast.

As revealed first on BizAsiaLive.com a few weeks ago, Colors will be only the third South Asian broadcaster to launch a HD version of its channel. Star Plus and ZEE Network’s &TV are the only other two services that currently run HD channels in the UK.

Colors HD is expected to launch in January on the Sky platform, as a free-to-air service.
