Great news but wouldn't it have made sense to put sky sports 1-5 on 501-505 then F1 on 506 and Sky Sports News on 507.

May have missed this so apologies, but is there any extra charge for the new HD channels if you already have Sports 1 and 2 HD?

Excellent. Looking forward to the NFL starting now, Sky have an annoying habit of shunting the matches to Sports 3 but doesn't matter now.

I think the best way would've been

501 Sky Sports 1
502 Sky Sports 2
503 Sky Sports 3
504 Sky Sports 4
506 Sky Sports F1
507 Sky Sports News

511 Sky Sports 1 HD
512 Sky Sports 2 HD
513 Sky Sports 3 HD
514 Sky Sports 4 HD
516 Sky Sports F1 HD

Or

500 Sky Sports News
501 Sky Sports 1
502 Sky Sports 2
503 Sky Sports 3
504 Sky Sports 4
506 Sky Sports F1

511 Sky Sports 1 HD
512 Sky Sports 2 HD
513 Sky Sports 3 HD
514 Sky Sports 4 HD
516 Sky Sports F1 HD

Sky Sports 5 could go on 505 and 515 for HD

Sky Sports News HD could go on 517 for the first list or 510 for the second list

What are they playing about at Challenge +1 now on 180 from 140 Sky +1 now on 140 is this Sky who asked for this or is it Virgin peeing about?

I assume as Sky Sports News is now on 501 Sky have had some influence on the guide?

It was fine being next to each other Challenge 139 and 140.

They've left a space for Sky Sports 5 SD on 506 and HD will be on 516.

You seem to be struggling to understand what exactly was launched today.

If you look closely, you can see that space has been left at 506 and 516 for SS5+HD.

SSN SD has been moved to 501 which leaves 517 for the HD variant WHEN it launches later on this summer.

There may be a chance that Virgin could shift the channels down one and squeeze SSN SD onto 507 to match this up, but it's not completely necessary.

I'm pleased the new Sky Sports HD channels have finally launched, but I'd love to know who decided it was logical to have Sky Sports 1 on 502, Sky Sports 2 on 503, and so on.

Are we to expect Sky Sports News HD later on in the summer?

I agree totally. Virgin's numbering is illogical

I was under the impression that we would be getting Sky Sports News and Sky News in HD at the same time as the missing Sky Sports HD channels.

A bit disappointed. I never watch Sky News but I watch Sky Sports News all the time.

I don't know anyone that watches Sky News, it so simplistic and amateurish and some of the presenters are just ****ing annoying. I digress...
