Why O why do you all go on about this channel! If Sky had a Paint Drying HD channel, would you want that too because it wasn't on VM!:erm:

I agree. The Bridge was terrific. And series two starts on BBC 4 HD on January 4th. One to set a series link for.

Because some people like to watch quality, award winning drama, that is currently not available on VM. Fairly obvious really.

If only they did - it would create quite a stir and generate at least 300 posts along the way ;)

If Sky have implemented such a swap on BBC 2 then their customers in Scotland are being disadvantaged as there are still differences in programming between the SD and HD variants. There are Scotland-only programs still showing on the SD variant.

That's why its only for customers in England I believe.

Is this confirmed? MGM HD has only recently announced a tie-up with Picturehouse cinemas to show its films in Monday matinees with a two-for-one discount for MGM HD subscribers. This is still being promoted. http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/News/...m_Hd_Matinees/

My source has said MGMHD is not ceasing broadcasting and is looking to expand it's library with a possibility of a SD launch in the near future too.

In what way is Ozsat's information proven? Is it because he/she is a reliable poster with a good track record?
