Thanks Media Boy, you really are a shining light to, I would guess, most people on here (well to me at least anyway). Top effort!!

Thanks MB, I would personally be happy for the others to be the remaining ITV HD channels, and the SSN and SKY News channels. Not fussed about SKY Atlantic, looking at the guide in Radio Times nothing on there appeals to me.

Right. So the 24 we just had for the Olympics was what... my imagination?

Yup, if VM decide they want to lie down and get ripped off by Sky, then I am sure they will. I am glad they are putting up a bit of a fight for the consumer:) I doubt greatly that I would pay extra, but it would be nice to have the option for those who would.
I am afraid to say you have missed off the £10 charge for ESPN (£13 if people, like me, don't have sky sports.) That is, of course, only relevant if people who enjoy ESPN currently would want to keep ESPN!

I do know that not all the others will be HD Channels - some SD Channels are set to launch by November as well on Virgin TV.

Oh well, in that case then I would take ITV2 HD, and SSN in HD. They are my high priority HD channels.

Any news on BBC 1 regional HD channels coming?

The real question for me is when are these channels are up to be renewed, then you could have a better idea for example of getting the HD equivalent of these channels?

Finally do we have more than 2 SD channels of worth to get namely SKY Alantic and Premier Sports?
