The future looks bright.

I will post more later tonight but this guy is really hands on.
I have posted on the below link

@ the point of the Five HD Press release it states current HD count was 13 and a further 20 HD Channels including Sky Sports and Movies expected later this summer.

13 count = BBC, Living, ITV, C4, E4, FIVE, FX, SyFy, Discovery, Nat Geo, MTV, Eurosport and ESPN

20 count = Film 4, 2 x Sky Sports and 10 x Sky Movies -coming soon Sky1, Sky Arts 1&2

So that leaves 4 HD channels remaining - ESPN Americia is 100% and i think Bio, History and a Food TV Channel (Good Food or Food Network)

The person I spoke to today stated between 10-15 extra HD channels by end of the year so taking that we get the extra 7 above this still leaves another 3-8 HD channels to come by end of year.
