I have received an email for channel 4 confirming that E4HD will launch on Sky only.
" However, we do hope to make it available on other platforms in the future"

Nook29 · 08-12-2009, 17:22

Seems to be a poor move by Channel 4 to me. Unless Sky are paying them a large chunk of money, I can't see any benefit for them to go Sky exclusive.

If it's not Sky showering them with cash then lets be honest. With their track record it's far more likely VM said "no thanks" to E4HD for some reason.

I bet a £ to a penny that VM turned it down rather than Channel 4 not offering it.

Sky would have jumped in first as usual to get it exclusive look at quest on freeview i was hopeing it would appear on freesat and that was scuppered by it going on yet again sky.
