It's launched and I watched it yesterday. however it's only as yet the international version that's in HD. It would be a very nice addition to Sky HD but i doubt it will happen until the British version is made into HD.
The Moto GP will not be in HD but will probably look very nice upscaled from widescreen.
I really wish sky would take in international version until the British version is available.
How did you manage to see it??
Actually that's rubbish!Sky avoid any kind of competition to their own Sports channels, so they can continue charging us through the nose, so don't expect Eurosport HD to appear.
I agree with you about the rubbish bit!Actually that's rubbish!
Sky are not allowed to pick and choose who goes in the EPG.
I agree with you about the rubbish bit!
In fact, as Sky seem to be aiming on using their HD channel choice as a clear "feature" over Freesat and Cable (and are aiming for 30 HD channels by the end of 2009), I would be surprised if they were not trying to actively entice Eurosport to start a "British Eurosport HD" channel
After all Sky have part of the £10/month HD subscriptions to offer channels they want!
ITVHD doesn't actually exist yet of course! (In the sense that it isn't formally launched). Also Sky only pay for exclusivity - which ITVHD cannot, of course, offer (unlike C4HD at present). ITVHD also have a stated aim of starting on Freesat only (for a few months??)Why hasn't Sky made more of an effort to get ITV HD if they are so interested in selling us HD over other alternatives?
Just to make it more frustrating, check these images of Eurosport & EurosportHD!

Try telling that to Setanta.Actually that's rubbish!

If Eurosport HD wanted to go into the EPG - that have equal right to a slot to a brand new Sky channel.
Try telling that to Setanta.
Last year Sky blocked Satanta from starting Setanta HD by refusing to supply them with conditional access services.
That's Setanta's claim! A Sky submission to OFCOM says precisely the opposite.Last year Sky blocked Satanta from starting Setanta HD by refusing to supply them with conditional access services.
