DR HD was a Danish high-definition television channel and DR's sixth licence-funded channel. The channel launched on 1 November 2009. All content on DR HD were in HD quality; no upscaled standard definition programmes were broadcast. The channel acted as a testing ground for the then-new HD technology, as DR and other broadcasters are increasingly moving to HD broadcasting. [1] Since its launch, the channel aired a limited number of movies and shows in surround sound. [2]

The channel was shut down on 28 January 2013 and replaced by DR3. [1]
