No idea on HDTV...........Sky predict it will start in 2006, but you arent going to see 200 channels suddenly broadcast in HDTV, probably 1 premium content channel initally or a selection of premium content channels that Sky will charge an absolute fortune for as ever. Probably trying to reach an Annual Revenue per Subscriber of £50 a month. It will also require new equipment if its worth having it on your current TV which is likely to cost £200+. Compared to a free cable of SDTV box I know what id choose.
But I cant really see HDTV Becoming widespread for at least 10 years, yeah its great but how many TVs are gonna be compatible. It will require a new compression standard and new equipment
