Sky Arts is in the XL pack. Sky Arts HD could be classed as premium seeing Sky Charge extra for HD!

By your logic, that would make Sky 1HD and sky LivingHD etc. premium :confused:

OIC, I still don't know what you mean. I suggested a reason MAY be that they are running low on boxes. I think my wording makes it clear that this was a mere suggestion on my part and not a statement of fact. This is not the same as "making things up".

OK, if it will make you happy.....

I think that is what is called "hypothesising from insufficient information", or more commonly "making it up as you go along".....:D
Changed for you....

Sky charge a "premium" of £10.25 to watch those (and other) HD channels.

well the 1st quater of the year is up and we still have no news on new HD channels infact the only things major thats happened is we have lost bravo, channel one ect and nothing major added to replace them. oh i almost forgot as well as the loss of those channels we get a price rise as well.

now i guess we have to wait and see if the 2nd quater offers us anything but going on how quiet it is i wouldnt get my hopes up !!!

Plenty of time for an announcement yet :)

'

Sky use a different pricing structure to VM for HD; they charge for non Premium channels, VM don't. Because sky charge for an HD channel doesn' make it a Premium channel.

Is there not more important things in life than the number of HD channels we have ?

Sometimes, I honestly feel that some people lose grip on the important things in life. We coped very well without HD, and sure we can cope a bit longer ! ;)

What services do you subscribe to? You have said in the past you don't seem that bothered about a fair few HD channels which is fair enough, I never used to be that bothered either. It was only when we got a 46" set that we finally realised how good it is.

I would politely say anyone who thinks HD is less than one of the biggest growth areas in TV is a bit behind the times of a lot of the opinion of Pay TV customers really, but each to their own.

Yes, there are more important things in life. But this is a forum on VM TV, not a general discussion forum. It would be wrong if things like HD channels weren't discussed here.

I have a 40 inch Sammy and there is a massive difference between SD and HD.
