More HBO in HD

There's one of HBO's less well known series, Tell Me You Love Me, now available in Virgin's high definition on demand. I haven't tried it myself but click the link above if you want to know more. In all there are ten episodes - it never made a second season - and the show's main claim to fame was apparently its explicit sexual content; "a provocative and honest exploration of intimacy" as they say.
Good to see more episodes of Carnivale now available in HD - we're up to episode seven now, five more to go of the first season. Let's hope we also get the second (and final) season too, and it would be great to have seasons two and three of Big Love that were never picked up by Five.
And I'm really hoping they'll dig up the remarkable Deadwood in HD sometime soon.
Viva HBO!

HBO's Angels in America in HD

More new HD content from HBO: two episodes of the highly acclaimed Angels in America have appeared, albeit episodes 2 and 3. Let's hope they hang around for a little longer than When the Levees Broke (available for just a couple of days).
I recall this being shown in two three-hour parts originally on Channel 4, but HBO has subsequently broadcast six hour-long episodes (far more palatable to be truthful - it's heavy stuff).
The interstella cast includes Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Jeffrey Wright, Justin Kirk, Ben Shenkman, Patrick Wilson and Mary-Louise Parker.
For those wanting to watch it all there are five of the six episodes available in SD, but only showing "20 days left". As always when embarking on these HD series via TV Choice On Demand, there's an element of risk as Virgin Media have a track record of putting up content in the most chaotic manner.
