Quite a few shows that you might not expect to be in HD actually are as they were made on film and have been remastered (a bit like Thunderbirds is in HD on SyFy HD) and it looks amazing.

Jeeves and Wooster, The Prisoner and Darling Buds of May have all been remastered from film supposedly and ITV4 HD of course sometimes shows Europa League football in HD.

For me personally though they don't really seem to be that compelling considering the SD channels are free to air (they are bonus channels though) but no doubt they will get better as HD channels tend do. Remember ITV1 HD hardly had any native shows when it first launched but it's quite good now.

I would personally guess these channels could be likely suspects to arrive on VM in future.

Fox News is funny, I am not sure it's intended to be but the commentary shows make me laugh. Then again so do similar shows on RT.

Both channels are fair and balanced

They have more shows in HD than channel 4+5 and possibly BBC One HD.
