The Hubble Space Telescope has now observed four black hole X-ray transients in outburst under an ongoing Target-of-Opportunity program: GRO J0422+32 (1994), GRO J1655-40 (1996), XTE J1859+226 (1999-2000) and XTE J1118+480 (2000). We summarise the highlights of this program to date, including a diversity of spectral energy distributions, correlated X-ray/UV/optical rapid variability and detailed UV spectroscopy.
