These figures are for 4-10 October, it might be better to see next weeks that will include a full week's ratings, it didn't launch until 7 October although they may be a median figure. Still poor looking though.

Agree mate but surely ITV will want to boost them up.

Definitely but remember that ITV2 HD is a pay channel, VM surely cannot keep adding endless basic HD pay channels as long as they don't charge extra like Sky. I am just assuming, nothing more but I would guess Sky have at least a period of exclusivity with ITV2/3/4HD as they have probably struck a deal with ITV plc over the transmission and encryption costs. This is the only reason I can possibly think why VM have not launched Eden & Good Food HD to their own customers. I am absolutely certain the channels will appear on VM but personally I don't think it will be as soon as some guys think.

That's just my opinion and not based on any hard fact's, really it's based on Sky's track record with HD pay channels, not free HD channels like Channel 5 HD.

I was quite looking forward to seeing music videos courtesy of Spotify. Are you sure it's coming to us as a radio channel or is this speculation based on its present service?

We will all know the BBC One HD channel number next Tuesday when the TV Listing books are out (I hope).

virginruinedntl · 21-10-2010, 00:28

Formula 1 in a nice bitrate will be good

I wonder what their policy of the DOG will be, maybe just for HD shows, maybe just for non-drama's, i guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks.

Fitze73 · 21-10-2010, 00:48

mentioning bitrate ... the pics on all the sky movies HD channels look stunning been well impressed with them even if most of the films take up 9 hours for each recording lol
