Very bizarre that Virgin have a 50% stake in UKTV but does not carry any HD or VoD from UKTV.

Good to see HD spreading - at the very least it will improve the SD picture quality!

Wasn't there talks of Virgin selling their stake? I seem to recall a bit of confusion as to whether or not they were still in control seeing as VMTV fell into the hands of Sky.

What happened to Sky running out of EPG slots? I'm sure we were told that the boxes couldn't cope with any more?

They still have a fair few left over from the Living TV Group takeover.

Virgin's stake was sold this week to Scripps who own Food Network.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, so apologies if it isn't.

Here's a good video showing behind the scenes of Sky Sports News at the new Sky Studios:

Where's the confirmation? It's been set to happen for nearly a year now...
