If you mean do I regret getting Sky then no as without going into detail I was offered very favourable terms. And it's only a 12 month contract too.

Equally VM might be accomodating if I was to give them a call to return XL next year. I am sure it would take nothing more than a phonecall as all the kit will still be in place.

And of course I got a free HD satellite system to boot!

Much the same feelings , would never rule out a return

Great stuff. I will hardly watch these stations, but I'm glad for those who do.

Now what I really want, is Sky News HD. When is that appearing? In another 12 months, perchance?

I don't know, it's worth noting that VM have never said Sky News HD is joining their line up.

When Sky Arts HD launches they have delivered all the promised Sky HD channels following the sale of VMtv.

Cool, it's a great amp! But i'm not sure that many people have surround sound. I wouldn't pay Â£18 for a movie that's too steep...

Sky Arts 1 and 2 HD begin transmitting from April 26th. Good news for sky arts fans.

Now, let us hope that it isn't too long before History HD and ITV 2, 3, and 4 HD start transmitting on virgin. Sky should not have the monopoly. Ofcom should get on with it.

You already get Sky News (as it is on Freeview)

Sky News HD is Sky only at present.

Personally don't see the point of it in HD

VM do carry all the Sky basic channels that were in place at the time they sold VMtv.

In respect of HD all they ever said was that Sky 1 HD and Sky Arts HD was joining the line up in addition to the premium sports and movie HD channels.

I agree , I would rather they spent the money on channels where HD makes a difference, sport or natural history.

Sort of agree with you and Ben while Sky News HD and Sky Sports News HD look impressive I'd much rather have Documentary , sport , nature etc.

Sky do, you need the HD pack to watch it!

However I don't find myself watching anymore of Sky News in HD than I ever did which was never much anyway. Sports Reports and The Press Review is about it.

I cannot be doing with the swooshes and graphics if you know what I mean.

Or Kay Burley (of course).

VM should look at Universal HD , Nat Geo Wild , Eden HD and History HD.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 00:46.
