In other words, you only pay the extra if you take Sky HD premium channels on top of the XL pack... Sky1 HD and Sky Arts HD etc could be another matter though.. we'll have to wait and see what happens... looking good HD wise though

What about the extra charge come april is that not a sneaky way to make people pay for the hd or am I over thinking it haha
Still discovery hd is a good addition.

Prices go up every year... but remember you are paying no more for the extra HD channels than someone without the V+HD box on XLTV, so in effect getting them as a "free" extra.

BIG TV NEWS: Channel 4 lost they Friends.
Broadcast is reporting that Channel 4 is to wave goodbye to US comedy Friends after 15 years, freeing up slots on both C4 and E4 for new shows - with Comedy Central picking up the rights.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
great news about Friends going, E4 was just full of it every day, maybe they might start creating some new shows or buy some new american shows that don't get shown over here. With E4HD it would be great to add new american HD shows instead of fullscreen crappy quality friends.

4hd has According To Jim (Belushi) and Back To You (Kelsey Grammar). Both are on during the daytime (not sure why as they're both funny and could stand up (sic) to an evening slot). Both HD and DD5.1.

The problem is, E4 is getting rid of its best show. Friends is still watched by thousands of people every day, they're losing a large audience with this decision.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
true but alot of their audiences have seen all the eps many times and are bored of them. Also the series 1-10 boxset is only around £35 now and have been very popular so the number of friends viewers will drop even further.
