			Watch HD and Dave HD to launch October 12th.
 My Virgin Media insider has told me that Watch HD and Dave HD will launch on October 12th 2011.
 
 Sky viewers will get this channel from launch.

			Could this mean More 4 HD and Film4 HD could arrive in the not so distant future on Satellite 
The new capacity on ASTRA 1N will be used to transmit Channel 4's main high-definition (HD) service together with further HD services over the coming years.

Sky now have an ok range of 3D content which will expand more as 3DTV owners increase. Golf , Cricket , Boxing and Football are excellent in 3D as are certain movies however I will say the SBS format broadcasters use comes nowhere near as good as Frame Sequential 3D used in Blu Ray.
