In early 2009 the Dutch public broadcasters will launch HD versions of their three main channels, Nederland 1, 2 and 3. In preparation for this move, a special HD version of Nederland 1 will be distributed via cable during the Olympic Games and the Euro 2008 Football championship. The cable operator Zesko is the first to announce it will carry the three channels. Others, including UPC, are believed to make similar announcements very soon.
