When they announced Eusropsort HD it was one of many that would be coming, suggesting deals had pretty much been done. I would have expected new announcements today - it didn't happen... meh!

To be honest i think vm are going to probably wait as regards more HD until ofcoms pay tv enquirey report due in march 2010 is published,depnding on the report it MAY recommend the wholesaling of some sky premiums at regulated prices ie sport/movie HD this enquirey has been rumbling on since 2007
.
Vm could then build a package around these premium channels,and remarks made in previous years suggest Neil Berkett is keen to do that.
Therefore i believe people were probably hoping for too much today as more HD eurosport was only announced barely two weeks ago,my personal view is much will depend on ofcoms final conclusion.
And the fact apparently that sky have some sort of deal with a lot of the remaining HD channels, ie they help them set up with cash in return for some sort of exclusivity on the satellite platform for a period of time much discussed on various platforms.
