01.10.10: This will be a day long remembered....
 
...It will see the end of people asking "Where the frack is Sky 1 HD!???", it will soon see the end of the Not-Enough-HD-on-Cable Rebellion.

If someone said to me 1 year ago, "hey, HDFootyMan, you'll be watchng Champions League Footy on SS2 HD and oh, by the way, Sky 1 HD is actually, seriously, really coming real soon!", then my response back then would have been unsuitable for a family-friendly, Digital cable forum.

The forthcoming red-button service will be the icing on the cake. So, well done Virgin and keep the HD coming.

* This post contains no sarcasm whatsoever. ;)

I'm actually watching most of my TV now in HD. Didn't see that being a realistic possibility around 1 year ago.

The only programmes I watch in SD now is BBC news; Merlin and Match of the Day, and the arrival of BBC 1 HD should fix that.

True, SS3 in SD as well, but most of the big games (Premier League/Champions League) are on SS1 HD/SS2 HD.

Of course, there's good old ESPN HD as well. FA Cup games to come on that channel next year.

Long remembered?

A bit of exaggeration me thinks..;)

I'm more interested in the 7th 10 2010 myself.;).

Are any threads available that I can moan in HD?

Will this be free on XL?

Will we get it before Skyforum?

Will Nagra 3 prevent immigrants reading my posts? Trade Unionists too?

Have I been spending too much time on CF?

Re: 01.10.10: This will be a day long remembered....
 
Yes the red button service is coming soon as part of the recent agreement with Sky, as well as Sky content On Demand apparently! No launch dates announced for any of this though, I would imagine Red Button will be sometime this year though.

Well looks like this day we got access to Sky One HD and then Sky announced Sky Atlantic which will air all the HBO and big new acquisitions and now we all start wondering if we get access to this.

With all these new HD channels popping up, are we to get boxes with bigger discs? Because my one only holds about sixteen hours of programming now. :(

We don't know yet, but unlikely the same price as a current V+, as the TIVO is a much higher spec box.
