Can't say I am surprised about Living HD but let's hope it is due to talks with Sky and more good news to come.

As for ESPN I would think that is unlikely unless the have been buying mobile and streaming rights to their content.

Whilst this all sounds likely, what is Nialli's pedigree? I dont wish to sound sceptical but time and time again I have heard people say - I have heard for somebody in VM - this or that -

If it is likely that this is more beleivable (not just that it sounds likely - we can all speculate - then great to have a reliable source, otherwise I get a bit fed up with conjecture being presented as fact.....

We just watched a channel 4 program before and it had adverts at the start and one advert in the middle......thought they used to push this service on the grounds that it was advert-less? Shame.

There have been adverts on the 40D things for a while. There are not any adverts on the itv player, living,virgin1, or bravo programs on catch-up or on demand programs that i have watched today.

it may be part of the contract with 4OD or a trail run we will have to see.
