I looked over the website and there is no date for the comments so they could be very recent (and therefore accurate) or very old when BBC1HD was first announced and so just an estimate.
If you download the PDF to your desktop and open in Acrobat Reader you can see the document properties. The PDF was created 16/07/2010.

Sky 2HD will be a waste of space.
Not necesarily, If it goes on to absorb some of Bravo's content.

HD goes downmarket once the likes of QVC HD comes along.
I think mass market rather than down market, which has to be the ultimate aim surely?

Sadly, it's made by the people that make Game Face / Ginx Files for Bravo, which I really dislike. It'll be aimed squarely at the casual gamer. I'm sure it will have it's fans though.

Better than nothing I suppose....

No, won't happen. Channel owners pay handsomely for their EPG slots, so there's no way the end user will be allowed to shift them about as we see fit.
What if there was an option to view the channels in alpha order? That would solve most people's problems...

Maybe this would give some kind of insight in to the Sky EPG T&Cs...

Not on 28.2E but 23.5E

Travel Channel HD will be available throughout Europe on Astra's 23.5°E satellite, with programming mirroring its SD sister channel's output. Shows will include destination guides, documentaries, food and drink shows and special interest programmes.

As per the Sky channels thread, Sky Atlantic HD to launch in early 2011 and be the home to all the recently bought exclusives from HBO. They have also pinched Mad Men from the BBC for this channel.

It will be part of the entertainment pack.

Due to EPG information that were broadcasted on the testfeed 3870 this morning we MAY get "Disney Channel HD" on this. At least it looks like that. Right now, all EPG information on that feed are gone (same TP as ITV2 HD).

Indeed. This is a triple HD week.

Eden HD - 4 Oct (live)
Nick HD - 5 Oct
ITV 2 HD - 7 Oct

and clearly with more still to come in 2010.

Now we really need to upgrade HD boxes to the 1TB unit to have room to store all the recordings from HD channels!
