Some of extreme sports content will be moving to BIKE, BIKE is a free to air sports channel on SKY and sattelite, don't know if it's on vm but with vms track record it most likely isn't.

Is Bike owned by the same owners as Extreme Sports?
If it isn't on VM, you can watch it on Roku channel 085.

It is owned by Bike Media Ltd. The channel is already running in some European countries such as Germany and Italy. Extreme was owned by Chellomedia (Zone) but appears to now be owned by AMC with the branding rights with Extreme Limited.
I wonder if the closure of this could lead to the launch of JimJam AMC seem to be expanding the channel across Europe and Asia quite quickly

If they can't be bothered to use the bandwidth on broadcasting it in HD (I'm sure the programmes would have been filmed in HD), there is no point in having such channel.
I only watch/record in HD now, I'm sure I'm not alone in this. When will VM make HD the new SD?

With the newer boxes from VM being able to output scaled down SD from HD channels it must only be a matter of time before all output is in HD?
