byron felson: I've just checked and you are correct: ShowBiz TV, though still in the EPG, has had its audio and video streams removed.
The chances of it returning don't look good but it could!
ShowBiz TV is freely available on satellite via Freesat, BSkyB or a generic FTA Satellite TV device, on transponder 11082 H 22000 5/6 DVB-S.

It is interesting that though none of the events are explicitly described as HD, as is the case with BBC HD services, they are using the "video up-sampled from standard definition source material" component type, where appropriate. Until now, only BBC has used it.
Obviously, the data is half-inched from DTT since HE-AAC is not used on satellite.
