The older and better episodes will be the 4:3 letter box just like they do on CH4 HD.

The Simpsons stopped being funny about 5 years ago. some of the older episodes have been shown so many times that the jokes have worn thin.

I used to be a big fan.

Skys power will be reduced the day people stop watching their channels and unsuscribe, they are only where they are because joe public has bought into their sales promotions and monopolies of sports rights. Stop watching Sky and they diminish.

I've noticed that Sky 3 has moved from 123 to 180, does this mean that sky 1HD is going to 123?

Ben B · 27-09-2010, 17:44

No Sky2 is going to be 123 Sky1HD will be 122

I can, it has absolutely nothing of interest on the channel and the quality of programming is very poor, its a typical 2nd hand channel that can only attract viewers by buying up future episodes of serials that were broadcast on other channels recieving peek viewing figures and forcing viewers to switch over to sky, their typical daily schedudule is loaded with multiple episodes of the same programmes because they have such a lack of content.

Couldn't agree more they have run it into the ground which they tend to do with a lot of series they buy.

I can see Sky dropping the HD charge for people who take Sports or movies with the 6 mix as a way of driving the numbers of people taking premium channels up.

What happens to Virgin if they drop the 10.00 charge for Hd , it suddenly makes Virgins 7.00 for Sky premium HD look expensive.

Eden HD launching on Sky 4th October according this: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...&postcount=160

So a busy start to October coming up for Sky with Eden HD on the 4th, Nickelodeon HD on the 5th and ITV2 HD on the 7th if dates posted on DS are correct. We'll wait and see if any of these turn up on VM...

Eden HD and Good Food HD may launch on Virgin in 2011.
ITV are still in talks with Virgin about ITV's new HD Channels.
I have seen no news on Nickelodeon HD launching on Virgin any time.

Problem is when Sky see viewer numbers diminishing they usually act promptly hence my views they'll drop the HD charge.

Hi, i have also said the same on other forums but no one responded, i totally agree with you if sky do drop the £10 HD Sub Virgin media is going to be more expensive unless they were to drop the £7 sub.
