The channel was available via Hot Bird, cable and Max TV, in Croatia and parts of Europe, America, and Australia.

History

Before the launch of HRT Plus on 29 March 2004, HRT 3 provided sports programming since 7 November 1994 until 28 March 2004. The next day, HRT Plus was launched, with the HRT 3 frequency denationalized and transferred to RTL Croatia.

On 19 April 2004, HRT Plus started broadcasting. The channel broadcast for sixteen hours a day trom 10am to 2am.{{Cite web|url=https://satkurier.pl/news/12662/ruszyl-hrt-plus.html|title=Ruszył HRT Plus|website=saturier.pl|accessdate=May 13, 2025}} In October 2005, plans to replace HRT Plus were outlined, initially by a dedicated HRT Sport channel in a three-to-six month period,{{Cite web|url=https://satkurier.pl/news/27060/hrt-sport-zamiast-hrt-plus.html|title=HRT Sport zamiast HRT Plus|website=saturier.pl|accessdate=May 13, 2025}} before later replacing the plan with the return of HRT 3 in November 2005, with no tentative launch date and no changes to the programming.{{Cite web|url=https://satkurier.pl/news/28129/hrt3-zamiast-hrt-plus.html|title=HRT3 zamiast HRT Plus|website=saturier.pl|accessdate=May 13, 2025}}
