adamj: Don't Foxtel already broadcast these channels in HD?

Yes your right, but ESPN HD was specifically produced for Foxtel and they recieve it via Fibre Link this is the difficulty that Sky are having with getting it as they would need to do something similar. I reckon that Foxtel will be bringing in two Sport Channels in HD as they have issues like today (Monday Night NRL and 5th Day Ashes Test if it were on) to broadcast two sport in HD which they would. They would probably add some other HD channels like having a general entertainment channel go to HD where CSI/Lost etc are shown in HD to compete with Channel 9/Seven HD/10 HD/ SBS HD.
Also those watching Sky Sport 3 would have noticed the bandwidth allocation on SS3 has recently been increased.
Yeah, I too noticed that the bandwidth for SS3 has crept up now towards 4,500 Kb/s or so. I see it's gone from 544x576 to 720x576 in the last little while too, as has SS3
old3eyes: This may push me to getting a MySky HDi..Would be nice to see The History CH added as well..
Interests: HTPC, Web App authoring.
Wills1: Hope so! my LNB has been upgraded already
adamj: I live in an apartment (MDU) where a single satellite is split to the 6 apartments in the building. I wonder how this will work for us, as running now cabling from the disk to each apartment is probably not going to be possible
Hmmmm
allstarnz: I already have SkyHDi, and those channels would be a big improvement.
I suspect that they will share those channels on an AU/NZ transponder to save bandwidth? There are no rights issues with any of these channels, so it would make sense.
Hmmmm
