Maybe Sky give Virgin that Sky2 logo.

Also we have also noted that Sky are still broadcasting the Sky1 +1 logo on Sky1 when WWE Superstars is on - Sky1 +1 is NOT even on Virgin Media.

(Was given November 2nd launch date by Virgin Media sources on Tuesday).

Plus Sky Sports HQ HD and Sky News HD launch date as of right now was given as set to launch on New Years Day.
If a deal has been done with VM (as it has in this case) there is no reason why VM cannot show the channel from the launch date, even if it is a Sunday.

I seem to recall that the Disney Channel was launched on a Sunday.

I don't really care. If I want to see only HD channels on my EPG, I just select 'HD' instead of 'all channels'.

Personally, I don't understand all this preoccupation with channel numbers, it doesn't concern me in the least. Maybe that's just me!

Not just you. I hardly know any of the channel numbers but this is probably because I don't use the guide very often. I mainly use the search to find shows and set recordings, then just watch them from My Shows.

Maybe they could add a channel name search like in the TV Anywhere App.

Not sure how long it has been advertized on the TIVO, but The Walking Dead boxset seasons 1-4 will be on TV on demand from Sunday 12th Oct. Looking forward to watching those bad boys again:-)

Unless is states somewhere else on that article that they are coming soon they don't have Sky Sports New or Sky News in HD right now either.

EDIT or is that just a select few channels they say they have in SD or HD?

The latter. That scan shows 34 popular channels including SD only channels like Dave. The logos for Sky Sports News HQ and Sky News are not the HD logos. Unlike Sky 2 which clearly is. However, the advert doesn't show the BBC and ITV HD logos so they are underselling themselves there.

I agree wholeheartedly with this and am pleased am not bothered... It is quite good mental exercise to remember channel numbers and as Old Boy says there are channel type selectors on the EPG....
