Star HD Channels
As part of a renewed carriage deal with Sky, Star have announced plans to launch HD versions of its existing channels (presumably Star Life OK and Star Gold only as majority of content from the new Star Jalsha is filmed in SD). This could also mean the the UK are first to get a HD variant of Star Life OK.
Elsewhere, Star are looking into on demand content to be launched on sky. More Here... http://www.media247.co.uk/bizasia/st...-carriage-deal |

I have a question about the Asian channels on Sky, it seems that they all with the exception of Star Plus (HD) and UMP Stars broadcast in 4:3 now is this how the show is supposed to be viewed or is this just the channel broadcasting wrong, because movies on these channels are also broadcast in 4:3, that cant be right can it.
An example would be SAB TV's new show Jeannie aur Juju whose uploads on YouTube (by SAB TV) are displayed in 4:3 so is this how all Indian soaps are meant to be watched? |

In simple terms it almost certainly will come but as to when noone knows. UKTV has gradually extended its HD portfolio from Good Food and Eden through Watch and Alibi. They may well add a couple more HD channels this year, in which event Really would be a likely choice. We will just have to wait for their next announcement. Have you tried contacting them. |

ITV's rebrand includes changing the name of ITV1 to ITV.

It's a re-branded channel re-branded if you follow.
ITV to ITV 1 then back to ITV. Why did they bother |

So everything but BBC 1 HD England!
More hours of staring at a red circle test card as we can't have one bloody news programme that covers our country whilst everyone else can! Well done BBC! Another magnificent cock up from start to finish that you are experts at. |

Regional news should move to the new local stations. That solves the BBC One England HD problem.

I thought there were only the 4 country regions for different programming (non-news)?

Also the local TV stations are only for a few of the most populous areas, so not everywhere is getting a new local tv station, plus these are nothing to do with the BBC, so regional news will remain on BBC1. |

But why can't BBC One HD show the London news (as ITV do)?
Better than a test card surely. |
