As far as i know and i may be wrong sky arts 1 and 2 HD are the only channels left to come under that "heading" customers wanting sky sports news HD,and sky sports 3 and 4 HD (These although not basic channels definately are being witheld from vm)) are unlikely to see them appearing on vm anytime soon.

There does seem some confusion though as to what skys basic HD channels constitute for example, does this include sky news HD or sky sports news HD who knows?. as far as i know vm have never mentioned this just sky 1 hd (already here) and sky arts HD channels to come.
