Hi

All this speculation, will all SS HD come tomorrow, will SS News HD be with it or not ?
What other HD channels will come at the same time or later?

Bottonm line is VM will never be the same as Sky, that is why we chose VM.

VM will eventually get us to where we want to go or we leave VM.( SORTED)

In the words of that old song " tomorrow never comes"

Roll on 06.00hrs 02/08/10

No, I chose Telewest as it was in 2002 because others didn't want a dish. I would happily move to Sky if we all agreed on the dish.

i see that the next WWE PPV, Nights of champions (Sept 19th) on sky sports will be on sky sports 3 instead of sky sports 1

Another sneaky move by sky?

Proberly but they will claim that the replay(s) were on SS1HD or SS2HD.

zantarous · 01-08-2010, 18:22

This is rediculus - Name a month where that has ever happened. Stupid Sky but very crafty.

Not scheduled yet but properly just Soccer AM repeats.

in the end, sky are going to do whatever they can get away with to attract more customers .... which you have gotta give them credit for, after all they are a business.

If I remember rightly, MitB was listed as Sky Sports HD3 aswell but it ended up on HD1 so I wouldn't take that as definate until the EPG displays it, would be great to see it on HD1 or 2 tho

These are the channels we know are coming tomorrow:

Sky Sports HD
Sky Sports 1 (517)
Sky Sports 2 (518)

Sky Movies HD
Premiere (431)
Showcase (433)
Comedy (434)
Action (435)
Family (436)
Thriller (437)
Drama & Romance (438)
Sci-Fi & Horror (439)
Modern Greats (440)
Indie (442)

Sky Sports News will not be there as this doesn't even launch on Sky till the 23rd August. VM have not got rights for Sky Sports 3 or 4 in HD either. We know the Sky HD basics are coming (most likely in September) but as yet it is unclear if Sky News HD or Sky Sports News HD will be included in this. BBC One HD is confirmed as coming this autumn, and it also seems now that Comedy Central HD will be launching soon.

with it being tv-pg nowadays I would say there is very little if any difference in the late night versions as opposed to the repeats that look to be airing on HD1/2, so I would just wait and watch smackdown on Saturday Afternoon and raw is on a few days later at 9.00am on SSHD2 . I very much doubt anyone watches it as it airs as there are so many adverts in each show, esp Raw Live

I also think I remember seeing the last SkySports shown PPV on wwe.com listed as SS3 but it was shown on SS1 so you never know.

I end my WWE rant with "Daniel Bryan clap clap clap clap"

ITV will reveal it is in talks with pay-TV giant BSkyB about carrying high definition versions of its ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 channels on BSkyB's satellite platform, the Sunday Times reported.

But the Sunday Express said ITV would unveil plans for a new "bespoke" pay-TV service which could be aimed at male viewers

Will ITV care to share (with Virgin), or will these channels be exclusive on Sky, as one poster on DS has suggested?

A bespoke pay TV channel aimed at male viewers - isn't that a description of men and motors that ITV closed earlier this year to make way for ITV HD?
