I think eventually when the other BBC HD channels arrive the the BBC HD channel will no longer exist it will be morphed into BBC2 HD,BBC3 HD,BB4 HD..

then again it could turn into a sort of BBC SHOWCASE channel ,who knows another wait & see

Read the press release this DS article is taken from and see if you can see the phrase "exclusive to/on Sky" anywhere.

and then see if you can see it on the original press release announcing the channel.

http://corporate.sky.com/media/press...y_atlantic.htm

Whilst I doubt we'll get it in HD, I can't see the reason why we won't get the SD version. Sky customers will be happy with the HD exclusive, advertisers will be satisfied with the same exposure they get with the rest of the Sky channels.

I'm sorry, I wouldn't trust a DS article to confirm today's date, never mind the future carriage details of a television channel.

Yes, I think the confusion that people are experiencing is that the HBO content is exclusive to the Sky Atlantic channel but that does not mean that Sky Atlantic will be exclusive to the BSkyB platform in either SD, HD or even 3D.

ITV2 HD highest viewing figure for that week was 13,000, the rest are are not great either 5,000 makes it in at number 10. I cannot see ITV wanting to keep it exclusive to Sky for to long with those figu;)res!
