Good point, we're paying almost as much as Sky for HD, will accept no Sky Sports 3 and 4 but we should get these other channels in HD and CBS action

Only exclusive to Sky as a satellite platform (i.e. not on FreeSat).. They are in talks with Virgin Media, so I'd expect them to launch on VM.

Sky1 HD is a certain... I'd expect the others to follow really soon.

Media Boy - if I may ask a question? Sky Classics HD launches on Sky next Monday 9 August - all those loevly old films remastered for HD. Any idea if VM will automatically receive this as part of the movie channels?

Link here - follow and then look at September, Sky Movies on page 2

According to NFL UK it's just the Monday Night Countdown preceding the Monday Night Football. Sky Sports have the exclusive contract for NFL support programming (although you wouldn't believe it to look at the pitiful amount they actually show).
