Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

doh David Haye fight on sky box office, was hoping ESPN would get this so i could watch it in HD and hopefully wouldn't have to pay for it.

I'm not going to pay £14.63 to watch it in 544x576i Why on earth do sky not air this in 720x576i or Virgin, who is going to pay £15 to watch it in really poor quality?

This is great news Mr Spiderplant, but are we never getting More 4+1 back?. Is there a technical reason why it can't return? Plus, what about the ITV+1 channels. I must admit I watch them sometimes and having the +1s on cable would be excellent. Can you please ask the powers-that-be on my behalf, thanks?

Yes Hollyoaks airs in HD, its on now.

Come Dine with me, 8 out of 10 cats, Time time and an odd docu or 2 air in HD. There seems to be no info on the net about schedules for channel4hd showing which shows airing each day are HD which is a real shame

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

simpsons has only started being made in HD this season in america which airs on Sky1 HD, i think channel4's episodes are much older so it will be a long time for that to air on channel4. Ugly betty, E.R and a few other american shows airs in HD on channel4hd too.

I'd rather they got rid of all the existing +1's - so annoying having them clogging up the EPG. V+ and Catch Up OD makes +1s redundant.

I use Digiguide and have just added C4HD to my programme lineup. In their descriptions they say if a programme is in High Definition or not.

You can download a demo of digiguide - but if you give me a specific day I will PM you with the schedual for that day.

Well the fun almost lasted a day but, sorry guys, HD is passé - 3D is today!

Glad I didn't rush out and by an obsolete HD TV set!
