More concerning is the lack of UK programming being shot in HD - next to nothing yet homegrown on C4 and still way too much BBC stuff shot in HD.

C4, C5 etc may or may not be fans of Sky, but one thing seems pretty clear to me - Sky see HD a major selling point and are aggressively expanding their offering. Virgin absolutely do not.
I agree more UK content needs to be shot in HD though. The BBC really should film at least all of their major shows - Top Gear, Doctor Who, all nature documentaries etc in high-def.
