BBC HD is a high-definition television network provided by the BBC. The service was initially run as a trial from 15 May 2006 until becoming a full service on 1 December 2007. The first HD originated programme to be shown on the channel was Planet Earth, shown on 27 May 2006.

The channel shows live events, as well as TV shows that are on BBC One and BBC Two. It was replaced by a HD simulcast of BBC Two, partly as a result of bugett cuts affecting the entire corporation.
