I just saw on the list Eurosport HD is coming thats great for the HD contents, makes me think VM are really looking into get alot of HD, best of all its free on XL.

I'm certain that ITV HD will have launched on all platforms in time for the World Cup.

That would be a good move for all providers who provide HD, when does the deal with freesat end so VM and Sky can carry ITV HD?

Strange that if it ended ages ago why haven't VM and Sky been broadcasting the channel, Sky normally are quick at adding channels.

It's because ITV HD is currently on the red button on ITV1, they're waiting until the simulcast channel is set up before it's added to any other providers.

My ''Total Channels'' has been cut by 1 to 298 on my V+ Box (Was 299).

But no channels has been removed.
