Just a heads up for you guys....
I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but if you have the Sky Sports channels in HD on Virgin then you can watch Sky Sports News in HD on Sky Sports 5 HD on Channel 516 from 6am - 9am daily. But today it's on until midnight! Probably for Deadline Day.
So at least you can get a taster of what Sky Sports News HD will look like when it's finally launched.
