Both companies will be keen to extend their HD offerings as the consumer seems to be demanding the superior format more and more.

how many hd channesl are on sky jsut now? about 55 so that room for abotu 10 with current capicty on teh sattiletes themself

and even if a channel is annouced unless it got a launch date then it means nothing, there beena few chanenslr ecently annocuing new channesl and then decide not to either because of the encomic climate or because or capicty problem on teh satillete themself

sky will still be launching new hd channesl i was merely pointing out that dnt expect loads any time soon there also more 4 hd which is to go onto astra n1 for fta and few others but that is it a few not laods not until end of 2013/2014 will we see sky surging ahead when tehre laods more capity up in the skys

i did meant it was temporary until astra 2f and 2e get up there to replace the old birds and ot provide the some extra capicty for fta channels launches like mving ch5 bougt to fta and few other like e4hd and itv 1 hd regions and soon to be bbc 1 rehd regions
