you can get BBC HD on the other channels, it's very good. C4 HD I think is a problem with the rights for certain shows....not sure really.

Its like everything, you indeed pay enough but then again most of what you pay for is free with freesat. Other thing with C4 is that they indeed have a ROI C4 with rights sorted out but problem is that for a HD version would be a another space on a transponder which they couldn't be bothered doing.
P.S. why don't you just use your Humax HDR altogether to record the BBC HD http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=58420327#post58420327
