Obviously this is a little subjective, but Living HD is total sewage. Sorry, but it just is. Any channel which devotes much of it's time to so called 'psychics' and 'ghost hunters' is a total joke. It's pathetic and VM should either radically change it's line-up, or bin it. That it's watched by an apparently reasonable amount of people does not make it a quality channel. Lots of people read 'The Daily Mail' and that's about as intellectually stimulating as toilet paper.

Sky One HD is obviously Sky's jewel in the crown and the biggest, most obvious hole in VM's line-up. They have many of the big US drama imports exclusively. VM need to fix this problem soon.

Personally I find VM's HD line-up to be pretty weak, and while the addition of Discovery HD, History HD, and Sky One HD would be nice, I think the larger problem is the lack of BBC One, Two, and Four in HD. BBC HD merely shows a scattershot selection of BBC programming, and I'd like to see the BBC fully embrace HD this year. Not VM's fault obviously, just a geneneral grumble about the poor state of HD in this country, even on Sky HD.

The Line up is pretty strong, and the VM line up list is correct.

Annoying as it is - the difference in technology used between the 3 original providers means that VM has to upgrade every single headend to provide the service.

Everyone WILL get all the HD line up by July.
