Hypocrite.

I refer you to post 296.

The Super HD tag means that the title is available in Super HD. You need to bring up the streaming details to see if you're getting the increased HD quality. The general assumption at the moment is that it should show 'X-High HD' as the streaming quality for Super HD. 'High HD' is the previous highest HD stream.

I don't know if Sky is part of the Netflix CDN or not. There is a link on the page of the previous link I posted, which automatically checks your connection to see if it is part of the Netflix CDN.

Cheers mate , my PS3 lists Super HD , when watching a title listed as Super HD pressing select on the PS 3 controller reports X-High HD my BB is around 9mb if that helps. Via that link I get a green square saying its available.

You can hear Planet Rock on Virgin Channel 924.

Any news on BBC regional news being available on BBC one HD, it seems so silly having to switch over to the SD counterpart

Or:

141. Channel 4 HD
142. Channel 4 +1
143. 4Seven
144. E4
145. E4 HD
146. E4 +1
147. More4
148. More4 HD (When it comes)
149. More4 +1

With CBS Reality moving to an higher number beside CBS Action and CBS Drama and Horror Channel moving to Channel 445.

That my ideal lineup for the channels listed.

Start at 140 then it leaves 149 if Channel 4 do another channel or 4seven HD.

I cant see Virgin playing games with Challenge.

But I think Bravo old EPG slots will be reuse with.

136. SyFy HD
137. E!
138. E! HD (When it comes)

OR:
Move Syfy to go beside Universal Channel with:

135. Comedy Central Extra
136. Comedy Central Extra +1 (When it comes)
137. Pick TV
138. Pick TV +1 (When it comes)
