Sky Arts HD Channels

So Virgin need to sign an new deal with BSkyB to carry the following Channels:
Sky 3 +1,
Sky Atlantic SD and HD,
Sky Livingit HD,
Sky News HD,
Sky Sports News HD and
Sky Movies Classic HD.
Must admit it is a bit annoying, Virgin sell their channels to SKY and then SKY will broadcast a new HD variant called SKY Livingit HD that will not be available to VM customers
