London Live can be found on Virgin Channel 159 in some London areas.

No surprise there as its been a disaster from the start.

Thanks for info.

Talking about Racing

I would like to see Sky rebranding At The Races as Sky Sports Racing as the DOG on At The Races look like Sky Sports.

l think its been put on the backburner as its not cheap to have a HD variant plus subscribers of the channel have no intention of paying extra for it from what l hear.

Current broadcast technology wouldn't allow all channels to be HD on any UK platform.

A 50% discount.

This is probably why HD won't become standard for a little while yet.

Does Mb know if any decision or announcement will be made in regards to the answers given on that questionnaire?? any rumours?

Looks like this ridiculous idea/vanity project is falling apart already.

Sky 3D is being wound down ready for eventual closure.

That's a shame. If they had opened it up to more viewers (via VM) it might have stood a chance.

I guess they won't be broadcasting the football in 3D anymore then too?
