Will Sci Fi HD replace Diva+1 on Thursday morning as this is still showing? Or is it a later launch?

from what i gather Diva+1 finishes all its program airing at 1am then at 6am all the new HD channels start to air. so i presume Diva+1 will be changed on the EPG to Sci Fi HD sometime between 1am and 6am.

Guardian article

Quote:

Virgin Media's pay-TV channel Bravo has acquired the rights to the first two series of US drama Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

Quote:

Bravo has acquired the UK broadcast rights to first two TV series, as well as seven-day catchup and video-on-demand rights. The second series was given the go-ahead even before the US premiere of the show.
The 13-part series will form the centrepiece of Bravo's summer schedule, although a broadcast date is yet to be set.

In short, they bottled it.

No price set on HD, no must offer on sky movies, no mention of the red button at all.

Complete waste of time.

To bee fair there is ALREADY a must offer for movies and sports (1,2) 3+4.

But i fully agree they bottled it. all this review adds to the current rate card is a must offer for HD (at an undetermined price) , and a maximum charge for sports 1+2. In exchange for that they have agreed to devalue the freeview brand.

S4C, the channel that has officially recorded 0 viewers for some of it's programmes, respond by launching a HD channel.

Please note that as a UK taxpayer you are paying for this so I would expect it will joining the VM lineup from day 1

Without reading the report, does this mean we will get Sky Sports cheaper than what we pay at the moment and if so when will it start? Will Sky Sports HD be 'coming soon' also!

That ofcom report is a bit of a disappointment. Will wait until after summer for any announcements and if still nothing will then make the move to Sky, just for Sky Sports HD really.

Also shame we can't have ITV 1 HD a few hours early for Arsenal v Barcelona tonight! First game will be Man Utd v Bayern next Wednesday.
