Tonight's Sky News Election Debate will be rebroadcast on BBC TWO and BBC HD from 11.20pm.

So Virgin Media viewers will get to see tonights Debate in HD after all.

You won't do, it will be Scotland only. In the same way us Scots don't get ITV HD.

I've just been reading through the last couple of days postings and am certainly upbeat about the possibility of the HD sky channels coming.
Could either Big Red or Andrewcrawford ask their various contacts to see whether any deal will be forthcoming regarding the Red Button services in this possible agreement?

Sky really would have something to complain about then.

Information TV coming to Virgin TV???

Future plans

It is planned to extend Information TV’s distribution to the major cable networks (Virgin Media, formerly NTL and Telewest) in the near future.

Again, viewer access will be totally free.

what's the deal of all deals from sky?

Free box, free install, all channels except ESPN for £25/month for the first 12 months. And he gets 40 decent HD channels instead of a miserable 12 (of which only half are worth watching).
