My understanding is that Sky HD channels are a option to VM but this would result in VM charging customer in the region of £20 per month - something that does not make sence when VM are trying to compete.
In that case if VM can offer all HD channels (excluding Skys HD channels) for no extra monthly subscripion then I think us VM customer are getting a good HD service - with the extra option to add Sky HD channels at a premiem.

It would be also intresting to see how sky reach the 50 HD channels mark by Xmas.
I do know that the below HD channels are in early statges
BBC News HD
ESPN Americia HD
Good Food HD
Since VM have delayed selling VMTV channels its suggested they could revert back to the old plan which was to HD Bravo, Challange and V1. - But i'm guessing these would go down the same route as Living HD - VM Only.
So thats a possiable 6 more but knowing Sky they seem to convert all Sky Channels to HD so guessing Sky2/3 will also get the HD treatment and maybe Sky Sports News.

The go get list could well be a possibility if virgin have said more to follow so could be any number of these.Have you any idea red with working for vm?.
