Sky Arts HD Channels
I think SKY News HD should be on the list too. It started broadcasting on the 06th May 2010, almost a full month before the deal was announced and over 2 months before the deal was officially completed. I believe the launch of SKY News HD was announced towards the end of April so surely when negotiating the sale of VMtv, someone from Virgins end would have had the foresight to make sure SKY News HD would have been included as one of the basic HD channels they could access in the future.
