Definitely but remember that ITV2 HD is a pay channel, VM surely cannot keep adding endless basic HD pay channels as long as they don't charge extra like Sky. I am just assuming, nothing more but I would guess Sky have at least a period of exclusivity with ITV2/3/4HD as they have probably struck a deal with ITV plc over the transmission and encryption costs. This is the only reason I can possibly think why VM have not launched Eden & Good Food HD to their own customers. I am absolutely certain the channels will appear on VM but personally I don't think it will be as soon as some guys think.
That's just my opinion and not based on any hard fact's, really it's based on Sky's track record with HD pay channels, not free HD channels like Channel 5 HD.
