The priority channels are clearly things like:
Terrestrial 1 - 5 and associated channels
Eurosport 1
Eurosport 2
Discovery HD channels
Even some music/film/sky 1 - 3 channels/bravo etc would have been better than the tripe they are getting first. I agree it is embarrasing and should have waited until they had atleast ONE decent channel to headline them with.
I'm off to get excited about watching the food channel in HD. Yay. |
Well Terrestrial 1 & 2 are covered by BBC HD, and MTV HD is one of the channels being added so music is also covered. VM also have a lot of HD movies now available on Demand. The viewing figures on Bravo are a lot lower than Living for a start so there isn't any point in a HD version of that channel right now.
I personally watch a lot of stuff on Nat Geo so to get it in HD now will make it even better. Same goes for FX and Living. Its a great start and once VM get a few more then hopefully Ofcom will have sorted out Sky's hold on their HD channels and we'll get them too.
I wouldn't be surprised if Eurosport HD is one of the channels they are trying to get.
