Agree with you there. Its appalling
But I guess it's a matter of cost saving for the redistribution. |

New movie channel starting on 26th May:
"Talking Pictures TV" A movie channel dedicated to black & white movies from the studios of Pinewood, Twickenham and Shepperton Studios. There will also be US television shows from the 1950s and 1960s. Just found out tonight when I received my monthly e-mail newsletter from Renown Pictures Ltd who are heavily involved in the project. More info below: http://talkingpicturestv.co.uk/talki...-is-launching/ http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/sh...8479&p=2177213 Sky EGM details are still to be announced but they say it will definitely be in the Movies section (probably around TCM and Movies4Men) Enjoy.

Fox News in HD is what I really want. CNN is a joke nowadays when it comes to reporting and news gathering.

I would rather see all PSBs have all regional feeds in HD than have some obscure obscure news channels go HD.

At least Fox News and CNN are already being broadcast in HD in the US so hopefully it is a matter of when not if. Hopefully Al Jazeera HD will also be available soon on Sky as it has been on Freeview for a while. |

I thought Rupert Murdoch's company had a stake in or at least ran the Fox News channel in the US in which case what is wrong with it being HD over here?, I have read so many things about up coming HD launches such as QVCHD, CNNi and Al Jazeera but all that seems to be happening is channels either rebranding with the loss of HD such as one less HD channel when Sky Arts 1 and 2 merge etc.
As I have said before I remember when Sky was it in 2008 where boasting about 50 HD channels and I wonder what with all the rebrands etc. How many we have got now, obviously in the case of ITV and BBC it all comes down to money and as soon as they have enough money to make all regions HD then BBC One will be on 101 and ITV will be on 103. Having said that and I guess it comes down to regional adverts but what is to stop Channel Four and Five being on 104 and 105 in HD now?, what with all the developments in HD such as on Freeview where you can already get QVCHD, and Al Jazeera HD and can you get CNNi HD on Freeview as well?. I had high hopes that last year and this year would be the year we would see at least some exciting developments and while there maybe still time with the potential loss of BBC Three HD next year that will be another less HD channel. If anyone has any serious rumours they can share with us about HD launches this year then please could you let us know. |

But it will not come to the UK in HD unless Fox International Channel want to launch it. is the cost worth it for how little its viewed? Most likely no! |

It's frustrating seeing clips of Sky News showing Fox News in HD at times but stuck with the crumby 509 channel. |

They have very pretty ladies though.
Thats depressing. I want to see the lovely Ainsley Earhardt, Heather Nauert, Martha MacCallum, Andrea Tantaros, Dana Perino, Jedediah Bila, Kirsten Powers, Sandra Smith, Anna Kooiman, Jenna Lee and Julie Banderas in HD. You can get Conan and such in HD. It's frustrating seeing clips of Sky News showing Fox News in HD at times but stuck with the crumby 509 channel. Can you not make do with a copy of Fiesta and a copy of 'Mein Kampf'? Surely porn and extreme right wing bull is easy to find elsewhere on the net. There's always the Daily Mail website. Go on, hurry - Kleenex is on discount at Aldi! I |

New Sky sports channel coming soon and it will be free to Sky customers who have the Sky Family Bundle or the Sky HD pack.
The new channel with either be called Sky Sports Select or Sky Sports Discover. Full details here: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...php?p=79149805 Not word of when this will be happening but as we seen with the launch of Sky Sports 5 last year, things move pretty fast so it could be up and running by the end of the year.

Babestation or Studio66 in HD anyone? Wonder when it'll happen?? Not too sure about an HD version of Play TV on 940 though (anyone who channel hops and has seen the 'regulars' in the Golden Girls slot on that channel will know what I mean)!!

I read Daystar Television is testing HD and might be launching soon but what a crap channel to have.
Wish some the other channels from UKTV , Five , or CBS & Sony would go HD. |
