I wouldn't be surprised if VM launch some HD channels soon after April, when the new financial year starts. That's obviously a guess though. They will have to start launching soon if they are going to fulfill their promise to have a lot more by the end of the year.

I really hope so, I'd hate to can the TV but my patience is starting to be tested regarding Sky Arts HD.

Nothing will actually be delivered to you ut lots of stuff will be coming soon.

So more HD will be coming soon. More SD channels will be coming soon. More "stuff" will be coming soon. Nothing will actually have a date but rest easy knowing its coming soon.

I jest of course.

VM`s "Coming Soon" is a bit like a movie trailer at the cinema, only shown about a year in advance

I struggle to find anything decent to watch with the chanels i have now (bar a couple of shows), so hopfully it`ll be something nice.

Anyway i`ll just wait and see what Santa brings

Well your contract is up soon. So luckily you have a choice. Isn't competition great.
VM have to start adding HD channels soon because they have stated they will have x (I forget how many) amount of channels by year end. Of course they could add them Dec 31st. I would expect a lot sooner than that but I'm reading between the lines.

They stated 80 within two to three years , so if you say three years that's 17 a year.

Not really. When they announced MTV, Sci Fi HD and several other channels the announcement came out of the blue. When Five HD launched nobody was expecting it. No disrespect to Media Boy but he can only tell us what his informants find out and are willing to tell.

Hopefully we might hear something next week then. Probably not though.
