Now pretty much everything worth watching (IMO) is widescreen.

Good job Sky! Just keep on trucking with the HD.

I understand unofficially that ESPN will go HD 'next year', as well as some more HD content.

That would be great, finally watch Champions League without wondering who's playing who or where the ball is due to the fuzzy picture!

How unofficial was your info?

I myself don't care were it will be placed
It my only source of american sport and the pixelated hell that is ESPN gotto end
Sky to their credit has had the world series on the other sports channels and the quality forwhat ever apparent reason seemed a lot clearer
Also thankfully espn lost right to NHL hockey and they playin it in HD on skyport 2 YEHAAA

Sky just rebroadcast it, so it is really ESPN's fault.
