Some days over 5 hours each.

I see where I went wrong:

On top of BBC Two programming, BBC HD will offer an additional 13 hours of coverage over the duration of the Games.

If you could have just 3 HD channels added to the current HD channels, what would they be?



ESPN HD has been available on VM since it was launched :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Some Scandanavian sources are reporting that ESPN America HD is launching soon (for example, it's showing up in the guide at CanalDigital's websites although with no schedule listed as yet). As they get the same version of ESPNA that we do in the UK/Ireland I'm hoping this means that we may get it as well.

You never know, Sky maybe willing to let their hd channels air on virgin now.

Are sky any closer to getting living hd or do they already have it? If not virgin could do some sort of trade?

It's going to take more than Living HD to make Sky trade.

I'd like this alot, I think a trade would work if we saw Virgin1HD, Bravo-hd as well as LIVINGHD Virgin need to offer more than just LIVING but thats upto Virgin.

I know, I'm talking purely about the rumoured trade of Living HD for Sky1 HD or some other such channel.

No. Dukefever appears to be giving new information on VM actually getting Sky HD channels, I'd like to see the source of this, that first post contains nothing concrete to that effect.
