MB, do you have any news on the regional BBC HD versions?

More Sky Sports HD Channels will launch by August.

As of March 2014 the regional BBC HD Channels has still to get approved by the BBC Trust.

Yes, I would like to know when all the BBC regions are going HD as it is a pain the backside to change to SD after watching the national news.

A pretty broad time-frame then

Does your new DNP Order refer to any new channels coming to VM?

Typing in 101 at the end of the national news in HD to the London regional news isn't much effort, having the local London region in HD is hardly worth the effort

So, if the theory goes that VM won't launch any new channels whilst significant sporting events are occurring for fear of something untoward occurring (minimal likelihood but massive PR problem if it does, who won't forget ITV HD's Tic-Tacs fiasco?) then we have:
- World Cup: Thursday June 12-Sunday July 13
- Wimbledon: Tuesday June 24-Monday July 7
- Commonwealth Games July 23-Sunday August 3
This would suggest to me dates of w/c 2 June or w/c 14 July for the remaining for Sky Sports HD channels to launch.

Indeed, just speculating as to "when" before August they may launch!
