Anyone who's been experiencing issues with the OD service today should read this , it appears Sky are saying the issue is now fixed.

Brilliant news.

When the regional BBC One HD channels launch, will all be carried by SKY? Will I be able to access BBC One Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales?

And yet only 40% of sky customers take hd. I wonder if they would double the number taking it if they dropped the price to 7.50 or a fiver?
