Not yet.

I find that BBC HD is most of what I watch now that I have HD
capability, there's a few more things on ITV HD now, not a proper
channel by anyone's standards but some good programmes, Kingdom,
Stephen Tompkinson's Balloon misadventure, Law & Order UK was good,
Lewis (although picture quality was questionable for this one).
There's football as well I'm told ;-)
Luxe TV has a HD channel (not Freesat but MythTV doesn't care, it's
free to air) and the odd Destinations or Tech programme is ok, picture
is usually excellent but content is entirely "promotional" in a high
class way though.
If you have access to Astra 1 at 19East a German friend tells me that
CSI is available in 720p with English soundtrack, many of the US
imports have English sound on an additional audio track.
