According to this on Sky's website comparing Sky Sports packages on Sky and Virgin Media, Sky Sports red button launches in 2011.
Also no mention of Sky Sports News HD coming to VM.

Interesting reading, that link. Sky say that some interactive features for Sky Sports won't be available on VM until next year.

They also state that VM may launch more HD channels soon. What, like Film4 and probably Five HD? :D

Just proves what a total cop out this OFCOM decision is.

I don't know, I thought they were quite generous by Sky's standards! They say we've already got Sky Sports 1 and 2 HD, and don't deny that SSN HD will ever come :D

Yes I thought the same. Sky are bound to make their offering look better. As far as I am concerned I could not have Sky HD due to dish issues so any extra Virgin HD channels will be more than welcome. Looking forward to the Movies in HD.

Well, the 'VM may launch more HD channels' soon, for one. There is no 'may'.

Fair play to Sky, their doing what any company would (should?) do and their highlighting their strengths compared to their competitors weaknesses.
