The BBC choose what to show. It is their application and their streams.

It appears they will be using the two remaining streams for other sports from tomorrow.

Yes it will. This is one of the nice things about Tivo and something that I do not think either the V+ or Sky+ do.
V+ series links will continue to work if the channel number changes, and I'd be surprised if Sky got it wrong.

Of course that's only for TV.
Not completely correct HD Ready is anything has a resolution of 1280x720.

Full HD is 1920x1080 all HD broadcast on Sky and Virgin is in 1920x1080 althoght some channels may broadcast at a slightly lower res to skimp on bandwidth cost the output to your TV is still 1920x1080. And your Tv will deinterlace the signal for you.

Hi Zantarous, query, if Sky do broadcast in FULL HD are there any tv shows (i.e. Sky 1 HD... Mad dogs for example) available on Blu-Ray? Secondly, is 1920x1080not progressive as apposed to interlaced?

It is a completely different channel. One is music, the other is celebrity based news.

Not completely correct ;). To be classed as HD Ready a display needs to have a minimum of 720 lines, and support both 720p and 1080i inputs (and a couple of other conditions). Full HD is a widely-used but unofficial term for 1080p.

1920x1080 can be either progressive or interlaced, but all broadcasts on both Sky and VM are interlaced.

A quick search on Amazon says Mad Dogs is available on Blu-ray.

1080i is NOT full HD.

In any event a HD ready TV will show 1080i so still no need for a full HD TV for sky / VM.

Did not see anything this morning - but then I was not looking for it .

1080p will show a full HD picture on the screen at once.

1080i will show half of it then the other half.

Mind you it makes no odds to me - I can's see any difference between vhs quality and blu-ray.
