As said before itv,universal,e4,Disney,nickelodeon and more 4 and many more hd channels were made possible by investments in them by sky.vm don't own channels anymore and unless a change in there policies are never likely to do so or invest in current sd channels to do HD versions,so I'm afraid what is currently happening is going to continue.that is why sky are getting temporary exclusive deals and I don't blame them,I'm no sky fan but I wouldn't invest in channels for others to reap the rewards straight away.
