I don't blame sky for not letting all HD channels to VM the same goes for ITV1 HD will not let sky have it.
If you want sky HD, then why on earth getting a sky+ HD box as it only £49 (but £29) at tesco retail and get 1 month free HD subscription.
Sky also told me at present they already had 31 HD channels but plan to increase to 59 by end of 2009.

TV drama series such as Lost are transmitted in 720p, not 1080p. Regardless of the resolution of your TV set, you will only get movies and major sporting events in full 1080-HD.
As to the quantity of the channels, this is the usual, age-old argument with a new twist. Sky has always marketed itself on the sheer quantity of channels on its EPG, regardless of the quality of them. Now it's doing the same with HD. Crap is still crap, no matter how many pixels it has.
You may well have Sky Arts HD on your set, but unless you ever watched Sky Arts in SD, what benefit is that to you?
