To those interested in a Comedy Central HD Channel I got this emailed response today.

Comedy Central Press
to me

show details 12:32 (5 hours ago)

Dear Michael,

There are plans to launch a Comedy Central HD channel. As nothing has yet been signed we cannot confirm this just yet but we hope to have an HD output of our shows within the next few months.

I hope this answers your question.

All the best,

Charlotte

MTV Networks International, MTV Networks UK & Ireland, Greenhouse, Nickelodeon Viacom Consumer Products, VBSi, Viacom Brand Solutions International and Comedy Central are all trading names of MTV Networks Europe. MTV Networks Europe is a partnership between MTV Networks Europe Inc. and Viacom Networks Europe Inc. Address for service in Great Britain is 17-29 Hawley Crescent, London, NW1 8TT.

I am sure it will appear on SKY 1st but maybe coming soon?

Well seeing as Sky own 25% of CC I am sure it will be there first, nice to know that they are working on a HD channel hopefully that will mean that their SD channel will go widescreen.

I have seen the list of channels moving next week plus also their new EPG Channel numbers - They are as followed:

415. TCM (Was Channel 419)
419. Movies 24 (Was Channel 424)
420. Movies 24+ (Was Channel 425)
424. True Movies (Was Channel 428)
428. Film 4 (Was Channel 444)
429. Free Channel number (Film4 HD?)
430. Film 4+1 (Was Channel 445)

Odd. I think the Sky service carries them on 313, 314, (Premiere and Premiere +1) 332 – 339 so maybe VM will run them similarly, albeit in the 400s.

Hmm... +1 repeats of tabloid junk TV or a rabid right wing 'news' channel... Tough choice so I think I'll just watch some BBC HD instead.

That's Sky Sports News, not Sky News.

I think Virgin need to move The Horror Channel to the 400s

313 Sky Movies Premiere HD
314 Sky Movies Showcase HD
332 Sky Movies Comedy HD

Just had this eamil in regard to SKY sports and movies

Virgin Media update on Sky Sports and Movies in HD

Hello,
Been wondering when you can start enjoying Sky Sports and Sky Movies in HD, on Virgin TV?
Just keep an eye on your emails and we'll be in touch as soon as they're available! Plus all the details of how you can get your hands on them too. There's no need to call now though, you'll be the first to hear the news from us.
In the meantime, make sure you're ready to go by getting all the right kit. You'll just need an HD Ready TV and one of our nifty set top boxes (choose a V HD or V+ HD Box). Plus an HDMI cable to connect it all up. That way, you can sit down to watch top movies and sport, the second they're ready to go.
Kind regards,
The Virgin Media Entertainment team

Im sure everyone who 'registered' got the email, so not sure we need countless folks saying they also got it. Nothing of real substance at all...just a general info 'mailshot' that everything is still ongoing really.

What is the bet we know the out come before we get the next email? Hopefully it won't be long now, I have just been browsing the SD movie channel listing and there are quite a few films that i wouldn't mind watching but the quality of some of the movie channels is appalling.
