It is the paragraph that starts 'For an incremental wholesale fee, Virgin Media will, for the first time, have the option of carrying any of Sky's basic HD channels, Sky Sports HD 1 and Sky Sports HD 2, and all Sky Movies HD channels' that is interesting.

I guess we will never really know what was agreed.

You are right - Sky Basic HD are:

Sky1 HD
Sky Arts1 HD
Sky Arts2 HD
Sky News HD
Sky Sports News HD
Sky Atlantic HD (To launch in 2011).

Actually i trust this story completely when it comes to bias in favour of his masters bidding i think Kelvin McKenzie is about as impartial as you could get.LOL

What are the chances though i wonder of Vince cable letting this one through though,to the detriment of consumers owning the sky operation completely and the sun times et al,could make him the Berlusconi of uk media and posssibly as bad ,all that media power would no doubt be used to stifle competiton even more.

Here here Sky don't own this channel so don't see why it wouldn't end up on Virgin.

Virgin Media starts BBC One HD tests.

My Virgin Tester has today told me that BBC One HD has appeared on their box.

The BBC has said in the past that BBC One HD will launch on Virgin in November.

They have started getting HD channels - 30+ added in just over a year.

If you just want as many as are available, you should go to Sky - you'll pay for them, but that's your choice.
