I remember getting shot down on here with people saying what do you need news and sports news in HD for , its pretty simple the graphics and on screen info is far clearer and the whole thing looks far better in comparison the SD version is terrible.

cheers for the help good friends.

final question for the evening: why can i not watch sky sports through the virginmedia.com tv anywhere pc site? shame its now making me do it through sky sports.com?

and yes den you usually find the people behind the camera are the feral children from bad parents who roam streets looking for mischief....
I would think in the long run this is probably better, you will most likely get new features when Sky customers get them instead of having to wait for Virgin to implement them.

A very visible fans anti-Sky protest appears to have kept the cameras away from Palace tonight!

It would be nice if we had HD for all channels regardless of if its a news or sports channel. The picture quality on some SD channels is pretty bad. HD channels will improve the viewing experience on VM for all customers.

Obviously costs and other aspects could restrict which channels are broadcast in HD at the moment.

You may have got your wish Den, especially after last nights antics behind the SSNHQHD reporters. I'll be surprised if they allow people behind the reporters ever again

PS. That recent channel name change has turned into the longest acronym going :erm:

BT Sport to launch new channel on Sky and Virgin Media?

Television services license has been given out by Ofcom in August 2014 for "BT Sport Extra 1".

TLCS is to broadcast on Sky and Cable.

It was embarressing watching those people who thought they were funny.
Purposely acting weird or being offensive in front of the camera is not funny at all...

Although I did laugh when the comedian bloke came on at QPR and said he had signed for them "Mum, this season I'm in the premier league and next season I'll be in the Championship"...they did make me chuckle. The missus didn't get it though :D

Or even Sky Sports News. That has a bit of a ring to it.

I wonder if this is for the FTA part-time channel which will broadcast those free Champions League matches which BT Sport has to show as a condition of its contract? I believe there were rumours it had acquired part-time DTT capacity for this purpose as well.
