They shouldn't bother with SD channels, everyone has a HD tv now, right??

Get yourself a US Netflix account, they have all seasons of breaking bad now in 4k, although the content probably doesn't warrant the remaster it does look stunning.

Breaking Bad is available in 4K on the UK Netflix , I'm not that impressed in the quality if I'm honest.

Thanks for the link Richard, for those interested in the numbers game means one less channel that we haven't got that sky has. I think it won't be a huge difference to us as they were already showing some poker on SS4 and ESPN has been showing the world championship but might show now a dedicated section each week.

Separately I'm still struggling to see how they will keep SS5 going next season

Aye I can't see the reason for sky sports 5 next year. To be honest I never saw the point in launching it in first place!

Well you can be rest assured they will fill it up with plenty of filler Vince.

I think Channel 4 show some poker too.

As for Skysports 5 most likely they'll put mls, spanish football, classic matches etc on it.

I asked a contact about this for you and was told that Spike TV would not have an HD variant and that there are no current plans to create one either.

VM have been given a provisional start date of 10 April.

I think I heard they put the u20 6 nations on there last night. They will have something to fill it up with. They must rights to all sorts of tournaments/matches they can't already show. Perhaps they will show more county cricket in the summer!!

Because it was filmed like an indie, like i said it probably wasn't worth the remaster, but still looks better than 1080p ( well it does on my 65 inch ).

Agree with you Vince. Yesterday for instance they had Gillette soccer saturday on which was also on sky sports news! Tonight they`re showing the Barcelona v Real Madrid match which is also on Sky sports 1!. Can`t see any reason to do this other than because they have nothing else to put on instead.
