Comedy Central HD arriving on Virgin Media September 1st
Not sure whether South Park is going to look any better in HD, but anyway, the folk over on the Digital Spy forums were right and I was wrong. Here's the official Press Release:

30 Rock in HD. Result!
Tina Fey is a cutey and she's a smart lass too.
Yep, I'm a big 30 Rock fan too. It will be good to have it in widescreen and hopefully they will show season five soon after the US transmission.
My problem with the channel though is the ridiculous DOGs they crowd the screen with. Urghh.
slightly off topic, but Eden HD and Good Food HD are launching - but exclusive to Sky if you can believe it.
No wonder VM are offloading the stake in UKTV if that's the kind of benefits their 50% stake entitles them to.
and apparently, sky movies classics HD is also not coming to VM - apparently it wasn't part of the deal signed recently.
