...yep, I agree. I was getting a bit confused about Ofcom's announcement to do something in the future and an actual decision. That's what happens when you post on a empty stomach.
So, I still think it'll be 18 months+ before we see any meaningful HD content on cable pending ofcom's decision and any appeal Sky may make.
As soon as any deal is done between Sky and VM on HD sports and films, VM will shout through the roofs about it.
