F.A.O. Sky HD users - Eurosport HD

[marinyork]

Just a quick note to Sky HD peeps incase they hadn't noticed. As well as the ads, Eurosport HD has been testing on astra 2B for some days now. It is rumoured and seems highly plausible a launch is imminent. It may launch on Sky before the end of the tour, if not it's very likely it'd be up for the olympics or the vuelta.

Happy viewing.

WoW Eurosport HD.

Thanks for the heads up.

HD or not, widescreen is still better than the 4:3 on bog standard eurosport

FYI you will have to subscribe to atleast the HD service to receive this. It's not FTA like BBC.

Sorry I thought that went without saying, that's true obviously, but I'm aware of a few Sky HD substers on here which is why I posted it. Guessing it's on the news & event mix + HD as that's where eurosport 1&2 is but not seen anything to confirm it. The olympics could be interesting as although the beeb have extremely long scheduled hours for BBC HD different events are on simultaneously so there could be a choice i.e. there's more likely to be cycling coverage.

Just upgraded after checking that the TdF is actually in HD rather than just upscaled.
