The HD channel is way better than the upscaled SD channel.
The Sky SD channels are also terrible on Virgin -- they only became watchable with the welcome advent of Sky1 HD.

Well done Virgin
Your post recently stated Rush HD was coming soon and ESPN A HD was arriving that was on the 1/09/2010. And Itv2 HD isn't a priority yet Rush HD is mmmm interesting.
