Virgin are at it.
Thats not true HD is included in the XL tv pack at no extra charge so no HD charge there then

Virgin do charge £7 for HD on sky movies and sky sports 1/2 HD because sky impose this on them so vm have no choice but to pass the cost on.

True but VM do charge a HD activation fee so it's not completely free in year 1.

When i got my v+ box i got charged £75 for the box itself and no activation fee, i think now vm do not charge for the v+ boxes but instead label it up as an activation for HD although i cold be wrong,as they charge an HD fee on the VHD box also.

Which would not make it completely free in year one but very much so after that on the XL pack.

Its far to say though the activation fee is very small compared to the £120(old price pre vat rise) you would pay sky in year one.

Ah in that case then they still do charge a smaller amount for the box plus activation fee,not quite sure though if the "fee" goes towards HD or is a hidden subsidy for something else i guess the answer is who knows.:)

Unfortunately we won't be able to launch our UK channel this month, but as you can see we are ready to go with our programmes, we're just finding the best home for the UK channel. We'll keep you up to date with all of the latest channel news right here, so you'll be the first to know whenever we have something to announce

No list update this week as I only know one bit of news this week - BBC to keep BBC Asian Network on air.

I hope to have an list update posts back next Sunday.

NOTE: UK summer time starts at 2am on Saturday Night.
Unfortunately, the BBC Asian Network is staying, albeit with a 50% funding cut.

I was hoping it would go and the money saved could be used elsewhere. It serves the Asian community very badly and I think if the BBC is to create channels for minority/disadvantaged groups, it should do it for them all or not at all. eg where is the disabled or gay channel and Womens Hour isn't even on for an hour lol.

The clocks go forward don't they??

Let's hope Sky haven't been throwing money at them to make it another Sky exclusive
