* VMTest2 - National Geographic Channel HD
* VMTest3 - FX HD
* VMTest4 - MTVNHD
* VMTest5 - History HD
* VMTest6 - Eurosport HD
I cannot verify this but Jasmeet's normally on the money. (Please, no quips about VMTest5 - History HD being a +1...)
If this becomes the promised channels, with C4 HD instead of a second History HD channel, then that's a pretty broad selection. ITV HD for the football would be welcome, too. "
They sound pretty good to me BUT FX is interesting as its a Fox network and no Cnhl4 or ITV HD which i thought would be a shoe-in - so not sure how true these can be.... |
for me .... out of that lot only FX HD appeals and maybe Eurosport HD. The absence of CH4 and ITV HD from testing, if true is disconcerting ( previous point about football well raised )
however as Sky have the vast majority of Movies and Sports HD tied up ( until OFCOM gets off its arse or something puts them to sleep - DC) then it would at least represent a positive move forward especially after 4 years of going nowhere in hD
Of the non premium HD channels carried by Sky or owned by Sky only Sci-fi HD would be missing ( ITV & CH4 as well obviously)
