not really bothered about either of these as I personally don`t watch either and I never did when I had Sky. Now sports HD3 and HD4 on the other hand. Wonder if we`ll get these in the near future....
Can I get a discount for having two more crap channels to cycle through...
Roll on Monday!
Philistines! :-)
Though I must say the only thing I ever watched on Sky Arts was the excellent In Treatement. Whatever happened to that?
Sky Farts again... this time in HD
For me (just me?) this is fantastic news. Loving the Sky Arts output so having it in HD is a win.
Mind you having SS3 & SS4 in HD wouldn't go a miss either!
I would much rather have SS3 HD + SS4 HD or Sky Sports News HD. Apart from the odd concert worth watching, the two Sky Arts channels are very poor.
Coming June 1st two more Sky HD Channels, Sky paint drying 1 & 2! See all your favourite colours drying in realtime in HD! Wow! The channel kicks off with the Colour Blue!
Least we are seeing channels being added than taken away,Sky arts 1+2 are not channels i will be watching but some will like.Just hope after all these months thats not all we are seeing hd,Very disapointed if thats the case
Any news on ESPN America hd?
come on virgin media wake up,and get some of the better hd channels,whats with all this i heard now we have sold sky this and that,we will be getting there hd channels,sky saw you comeing
Peoples' interests in TV vary. I consider Sky Arts 2 to be one of the best channels on TV so HD is good news but I don't expect everyone else to share my tastes.
I'm more of a casual viewer of the Sky Arts channels but, even so, to have them in HD soon is bonus.
when we comment on sky having lots of HD channels, this is what they offer.
When VM start adding them, we comment on how we dont like them.
if you want to compair sky hd channels to vm, recognise that most sky hd channels are like these two.
(unless you pay for the premium ones)
i would rather have history nat wild + eden whenever
