    I don't know exactly when, but it is currently testing with full audio/visual, and EPG data. Other than a little judder in the picture now and again, it's almost ready to go. I'd guess at this Thursday (probably a long shot), if not then possibly next week.

    Go to 12.604V and find the test label '55355' to watch the tests.

    It'll be showing an HD version of Titanic this Friday evening, so it has to be added to the EPG before then. Some listings magazines also mention Sky Movies Premiere HD from this Thursday onwards, so I'd say this Thursday is a good bet.

    No - they are HD1, HD2 and HD3. Not 1HD, 2HD and 3HD.

    Usually, HD1 will mirror Sports 1, and HD2 will mirror Sports 2.

    HD3 will usually be either Sports 3 or Sports Xtra.

    New channels have to take the next available number - unless they are replacing an outgoing channel.

    It's the rules!

    Yes, it's Thursday, and that's also when the other HD movie channel numbers move.

    Press button two on the planner and the HD channels are adjacent.

    Or save it as a favourite and press the blue button on planner.

    wwe is on at the moment. doesn't say its HD though. the only wwe with HD in the banner is the live programme tonight. Dont know if this means only live shows in HD and the rest upscaled, or if they are just catching up with the highlight shows and they will be HD in a few days time.

    Still a good quality picture though - not that I had it on for more than 30 seconds - some woman started singing and then got picked up and spun around - she then staggered away - exciting stuff.:yawn:

    Nah, it's upscaled - good quality but judging from the clip on the HD Preview Show it doesn't compare to the true HD broadcast later tonight.
