Living HD/Sky1 HD - DONE DEAL - a pure swap deal fully expecting some kind of press release in the coming weeks.
Sky HD Pack - VM&Sky have already started to broker a deal for these channels - note these are for Sky's 100% HD channels - Not Joint Ownership HD channels i.e. MGM, Bio etc etc and ?s around the Five HD deal.
Don’t read too much into if the Tories win - The fact that Ofcom has issued the report means neither Labour or the Tories can overturn this ruling, the ruling can only be overturned if Sky take this through the European courts and win.
If the Tories do win and strip all power from Ofcom then that does not mean they can overturn all previous Ofcom rulings made.
The Sky HD pack is expected before the summer
I'm not going to get involved in replying to each post quoting the above - the fact I have a very close and trusted friend within VM.
I will post more if and when I get any other information.
