Good. HD News channels are a waste of space and money.

Re: 'Sky' News

It's probably a signal level problem. Give VM a call if it isn't working by the morning.

I certainly don't. I like to have a news channel running in the background most of the day while I'm working (watching recorded shows is an evening thing usually) and one that doesn't have obvious aliasing on the text and fast-moving images would be appreciated. BBC News looks pretty good when it's broadcast on the HD channels and I'd like that all the time, even if some of the feeds they cut to (i.e. some far flung correspondent piggybacking off a deprecated Russian satellite) aren't originally in HD, or even SD by the looks of some!
