What's happening with ESPN A HD , Sky One HD , Nat Geo Wild HD , Hallmark HD , Disney Cinemagic HD , Sky News HD and Sky Sports News HD who cares about ITV repeat and re-run HD channels.

Good point, we're paying almost as much as Sky for HD, will accept no Sky Sports 3 and 4 but we should get these other channels in HD and CBS action:mad:

Only exclusive to Sky as a satellite platform (i.e. not on FreeSat).. They are in talks with Virgin Media, so I'd expect them to launch on VM.

It helps to read the full article ;)

Sky1 HD is a certain... I'd expect the others to follow really soon.

Media Boy - if I may ask a question? Sky Classics HD launches on Sky next Monday 9 August - all those loevly old films remastered for HD. Any idea if VM will automatically receive this as part of the movie channels?

Link here - follow and then look at September, Sky Movies on page 2

Hope they do especially ESPN America HD there's college football in September to be watched. ESPN have got UK rights this year for NFL Monday Night football does anyone know if there will be any more NFL shows on ESPN

According to NFL UK it's just the Monday Night Countdown preceding the Monday Night Football. Sky Sports have the exclusive contract for NFL support programming (although you wouldn't believe it to look at the pitiful amount they actually show).

Think they would just be in XL pack, and it would be VM paying for them rather than us directly.
