Yeah, OFCOM rules so that they can show higher rated films during the day, it's the same on SKY

C5 and Warner Bros agree a new deal http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcas...bros-deal.html

New shows and and movies aswel as access to older films, lets hope HD was in this deal.

Comedy Central launching on 9th August on Sky, why is there a three week delay for cable customers?

Don't forget that with US imports HD also equals widescreen so even if the extra resolution isn't made much use of the fact that it's not in 4:3 is good. Just see the HD episodes of The Simpsons as an example.

Is there any chance we will get Sky News HD with Sky 1 HD and Sky Arts HD?

AND

When we do get Sky1 HD, and Sky soon get Sky2 HD as an exclusive to them. What are the chances they will shaft VM customers again and move WWE Superstars to Sky 2 HD?

LOL Knowing Sky yup they will.

Is there even a Sky2HD? Cause Sky2 is just Sky1+1 most of the time now

I just don’t think VM will stop @ 30 HD channels - I would prefer VM to get rid of rubbish TV channels and these +1 + 2 channels.

We have a huge on demand and catch up TV we don’t really need +1/Delayed TV.

I would rather have fewer TV channels but with a better line up.

How many people watch ITV4 +1 Watch + 1 etc - I would rather have Animal Plant HD and History HD added.

Its my personnel opinion but I feel +1 is dead and with both VM/Sky providing more on demand, catch up TV and these IPlayers we just don’t need them.

Maybe get some US exports

I often use the +1 channels. If there's 3 things I want to record on at the same time, I can record one of them off the +1 channel where available.
