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.
No, YOUR priority channels are them.

Eurosport 1 has a mere 0.2% viewing share, Eurosport 1 has 0.1%, Discovery has 0.2% as well.

Both Living an FX have more than these, and even Good Food manages to get 0.2%.

But yes, they should have gone with your list which is clearly of more popular channels, even though the BARB figures for viewing share completely disagrees with you.
