That's what i thought happened ,BT own the line and just 'rent' it to sky .So the line rental i pay actually belongs to BT ,or at least most of it so i am still paying BT money ,not that anything can be done about that though

I believe communications providers pay £87.41 annually for a fully unbundled line , the rest would belong to your communications provider.

Why? Having just looked at what is on that channel, I'd be happy not to have it.

i can understand channels people watch a lot, eg sky atalantic
Otherwise, not sure having an HD channel you don't watch is any benefit.
But, if lots were watching it, fair dues

I don't watch too much More4 but the wife does. More4HD will be enjoyed in my household.
How many popular channels are left still to go HD? There really can't be too many. Personally I'd like to see SKY introduce HD for their own +1 channels.

The BBC could well make the move to HD with their News channel soon as this year could see quite a few HD news channels
Sky News HD (Already broadcasting)
NHK World HD (Already broadcasting)
RT HD (Testing now , due sometime this month)
CNNI HD (Announced they'll go HD this year)
Fox News HD been rumoured for a while
