Sky News HD will probably appear before BBC News HD as I would guess that BBC News HD will be the last of the new BBC HD channels to launch.
How do you know about discussions for 5Later?

Also, I imagine that Sky will suddenly want Sky News HD on VM just before BBC News HD starts, to steal a march on them.
I was told about the 5 Later discussions at a "do" I was at by a member of the VM management team.
Don't know anything else about it, not even what the channel is about.
I imagine it will be similar to the Channel 4 service "4Seven", or perhaps a more adult themed service.
The name of the channel suggests to me that it might be a part time evening/night service. This begs the question as to whether Channel 5 are going to eventually launch their daytime childrens channel "Milkshake".

I doubt that it will, +2 channels have only ever been on Sky as placeholder channels to reserve their place on the EPG. Such measures aren't neccessary on VM and +2 variants have never been added to the VM EPG in the past.
