Not heard anything about More TV , but have previously heard about them morphing XL into their version of the full HD pack.

I've done a bit of poking around on the site and found this.

i doubt this as everyones bill would go down but it'd be the dream wouldnt it...

No the £7p/m Sky premier hd charge is set by Sky themselves apparantly.

Look to be like Discovery and Liberty may add All3Media shows to DMAX or Quest or add them to Virgin on Demand.

Someone just threw a spanner into my works. My thinking was, that if these channels were to appear then the HD charge would increase from 7 to 10 pounds. But as someone says, the charge currently covers Sport and Movies. (I only take sport myself). But if I was a 'movies only' customer, I'd be enraged if they added £3 to my bill for nothing that I receive.

So the way I see it, the HD charge will either stay at £7 and include the new stuff or they'll introduce a separate £3 HD charge for the new channels only. In which case I doubt I'd take it as 95% of my SS viewing is on 1 or 2 anyway.

well i'll check my box tomorrow morning hopefully...though it appears it'd be a bit of a long shot. MB is tomorrow one of the possible "other two" launch dates or can you not say?
