According to Wall Street Journal, it has been adjourned until Wednesday afternoon:

Quote:

LONDON (Dow Jones)--The hearing before the Competition Appeal Tribunal on British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC's (BSY) appeal to delay Ofcom's recent ruling that it must wholesale its premium sport content to rivals and provide a new pricing structure by May 14 was Tuesday unexpectedly adjourned until Wednesday afternoon.

This is True.

I Just wish there was some worthwhile content to justify the fuss surrounding HD because at the moment there doesn't seem to be.

Im surprised Virgin are bothering putting out a HD version of Bravo so soon since it's been a dead duck for around 10 years now :rolleyes:

Virgin qtr 1 2010 results here, no news on any channels launching, would have thought this was the perfect place to announce Sky1hd and Bravo Hd just says they hope to add more soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

They don't normally announce new channels at these meets, usually it is a vague promise of more coming soon.
