Actually one of those 8 title hits when you do a search is HD-DVD ("Planet
Earth" appears twice). The BBC have been pretty good on making sure both
formats are supported equally with the extremely limited releases they've
made to date.
There was one title in the original batch of releases ("The Tudors Season
One") that was Blu-Ray only but that's because it was actually put out by
Sony and not the Beeb. Sony were obviously never going to put out a title on
the rival HD-DVD format.
Now that the last two HD-DVD exclusive hold-outs (Universal and Paramount)
have announced they're moving to Blu-Ray I think there's litte doubt that
the Beeb will do the same when their next batch of titles are announced.

BBC Shop has 8 titles as blu ray & 7 as HD DVD.
