You'd think some on "the insiders" on here were in talks to invade Libya:D

Yes I know, But did you hear at the beginning of the Andrew Marr show this morning? He said that the Libyan government had shown the cuts protest in London yesterday and said that it was the British people standing up against the air-strikes :erm: Soi it could happen if they find out about the channels:p::p::p:

MGM HD is having a free weekend from this Friday, maybe it would be a good time to launch on VM?

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, MGM HD launched on 14 December 2009 on the Sky satellite service.The channel is run in joint partnership with British Sky Broadcasting.

Doubt it will arrive any time soon looks like it's a Sky exclusive in the UK.

Most channels launch first on Sky , but I suppose that's inevitable when they've got 10 million + subscribers , the only channel I can think that's not is Film4 HD and that will arrive sooner or later. VM have plenty of choice in HD channels to add.

Isn't Comedy Central a partnership between Viacom and Sky though?

Or I think it used to be anyway.

To be fair , Sky have helped many a HD channel setup so a period of exclusivity is understandable , but after that every platform should be entitled to agree deals to carry it.

I think a Sky HD channel, or one they are involved in will launch soon because of that Sky 1 HD test.
