    Maybe it's just the pilot that is not in HD?

    edit:scrap that. Just taken a look in DigiGuide and none of the espisodes are marked as HD.

    I'm sure it's an error. The pilot repeat on the 10th is shown as HD on Digiguide.

    Diguiguide often seems to show the same data as the Sky planner - presumably both come from the broadcaster. Hopefully It is just a mistake on living's part!

    I can't imagine Sky investing in a new show and not taking the HD option, surely a mistake with the guide data.

    After all the advertising they have been doing, why would it not be in HD?! Though i hope its proper HD and not One Tree Hill 'HD'

    Hmmm I just noticed that Medium does not have the HD marker either tonight or next week, but is has been shown in HD up to now.

    In fact in the next 8 days hardly any shows seem to have EPG markers (not even the widescreen or stereo markers let alone HD) on any of the Living channels. I think Living are doing a Eurosport and not bothering to put the markers on the EPG.

    Comon' Sky how can you expect broadcasters to get this stuff right if you cannot be bothered to keep your own channels in line?

    Its shocking, one of the worse HD programs currently showing.

    If people thought battlestar galactica looked crap in HD have a look a one tree hill, its like VHS tape in places. But the DVD's of previous seasons are crap too so not surprised.
    Shows like this look really good in HD, shame on the producers of this show for filming it like this.

    What date for chuck? As the third season has just finished on Virgin one/the one channel this week.

    The only CW show i watch is Smallville and that's actually pretty decent in terms of HD.

    What EPG are you looking at? Just checked on sky's epg and no sign of HD (or Widescreen) on the pilot.

    It's bad enough a US import isn't being marked as HD but for a modern broadcaster not to even go widescreen is totally g*sh!! Do they still live in 1995?

    The VM customer magazine states it will be in HD: http://electric.virginmedia.com/1T4ca20dea91b74012.cde (Page 11).

    Sunday's repeat at 8pm is tagged as HD and widescreen, I'd be suprised if tomorrows premiere is not HD.

    Have seen that and taking no chances. So I'm taping and watching sundays episode. Also I have enough taping today and with Chuck starting next week on thursday I would be better following the sunday repeat.
