AIUI Premier Sports SD will close and become Premier Sports 1 HD and Premier Sports 2 and Freesports will only launch in HD.
It seems to be the case with the smaller less affluent channels that they are cutting costs by closing their SD service when they launch in HD.

True, maybe this was the reason why VM wouldn't carry Freesports from launch when it was only in HD??
