I would have thought that figures like those would have encouraged ITV to do a deal with VM as quickly as possible to increase viewing figures as quickly as possible, as selling advertising with such low numbers cannot be easy. Though I guess they sell advertising as a package.
Perhaps someone in advertising could educate me?

Hi Windy,

So until TiVo enabled boxes become standard PVR on VM and not a premium product, we will just have to hide SD channels on our fav setting :(

Is there any likelihood of TCM broadcasting in HD, I think its the only movie channel left to do so, and one of the original movie channels to start out.

There are several non HD movie channels incuding Movies 24, True Movies and Cinemoi.

your right of coarse, I didn't include them as movie channels, forgot, as I dont watch them cos they are so poor in quality, and we forgot Horror also. Tcm been around for ages and I know they show a lot of old stuff but they do tend to mix it with new also.

Just seen a advert on ITV about ITV+1 and that states that it starts on 11-1-11. So the info that has been on DS has been correct for once.

Yes they are nearly sold but if the deal falls through there are DISCOVERY and also ITV are waiting in the wings.

However, Discovery Communications and ITV are thought to be waiting in the wings should the talks break down.

There are rumours that we will be getting CBS Drama, which would be part of a welcome replacement for the channels that we are losing with the Sky takeover of Bravo and Channel One. Do you think we'll get the HD version? http://wotsat.techradar.com/news/cbs...s-way-10-12-10

Comedy Central launched a HD simulcast even though the SD channel still broadcasts 4:3 so you never know but widescreen would be good for a start.

There is a TCM HD channel in the US but it broadcasts mostly upscaled fare.
