I think we'll get Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD at some point as they are classed as HD basics.

From the sky sports site

Sky Sports News is also launching in stunning high definition, so viewers can enjoy the new widescreen format with sharper picture quality and Sky Sports HD highlights.

Sky Sports News HD completes the line up of 5 Sky Sports HD channels, only available with Sky.

All 5 Sky Sports channels can also be enjoyed live on laptops and iPhones, so you'll never have to miss a moment.

I know that this is off topic but is anyone else having trouble with the national geographic channel? I am getting the +1 channel fine but no picture or sound on the main channel but the red button symbol is in the top right corner?

Again its all in the wording.ALL FIVE HD CHANNELS which is true.

Nothing about HD1,HD2 and sky sportsnews in HD which makes 3.

I can't see how Sky could get away with their current ads if Sky Sports News HD was also heading so VM at launch. Of course giving a long enough time frame it could well appear on VM but when, who knows

The world of advertising appears to have rules of its own. How long ago was it that VM were advertising that they didnt charge for any HD channels.

Whats happening to Comedy Central it's not listed on that PDF :shocked:, I see that Comedy Central Extra is moving to 185

The EPG is starting to get messy, about time they reorganised it

It does appear so according to that chart.

Also no mention of ESPNA HD.

VM employees how reliable is this chart would love Comedy Central HD.

Edit:

What has happened to 132? There is no mention of the SD CC channel?

BenMcr would be best to answer any website stuff, but VM like to stagger announcements about new channels.

Not sure why CC SD has dropped off that list? Must be a typo.
