old3eyes: Depends. As Sky NZ piggybacks onto Foxtel in Ozz for these channels and as Foxtel in Ozz does both Discovery and Natgeo in HD then there's no excuse this site of the Tasman for not seeing it here in HD..
Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

You misunderstand how the HD versions of Nat Geo, Discovery, ESPN etc. would be delivered. Sky would receive 45 Mbps feeds over fibre and feed these to H.264 encoders (output around 15 Mbps) and onto satellite. Given Sky have no such fibre feeds there are no such channels on the Sky satellite transponders.
The SD versions also arrive in NZ independent of Foxtel.
EDIT: Fellet had been negotiating with both Discovery and Nat Geo, re: showing HD version + an SD version of the HD feed (replacing current SD feed) on Sky. Whether there was any outcome I don't know.

Handsomedan: There surely has to be enough interest in football now to warrant a dedicated football channel? I'd pay for it.

yeh i agree, try and get as many football matches especially from la liga, italian league and german leagues along with epl. hopefully all of them in HD too id pay 20$ for that itself. Think world cup 2010 would be in HD which should be good.
allstarnz: ESPN HD
More international sport on Sky Sport (they seem to have cut back on this)
Sky News and Sky Sport on demand/active
More Sky channels in HD
More channels in 16:9ashnizzle:Handsomedan: There surely has to be enough interest in football now to warrant a dedicated football channel? I'd pay for it.

Yes, especially as Sky block you from subscribing to Setanta Sports, which show lots of football. Most of it Sky don't show either.

sbiddle: All you need is an appropiate dish for D2, STB that does irdeto and a contact in Australia to get the card delivered to.
DS9:NonprayingMantis: If more channels go HD I would definiutely need a hard drive upgrade.
If all the crap my wife has on series link becomes HD there will be no room for the good stuff I like to watch.
Recording a FTA HD movie takes up absurd amounts of space at the moment - mostly because the ads seme to meant the movie lasts 20-30% longer than it would on Sky Movies.
Sky is launching a external HDD they are currently working on the name for marketing.
