Ahh this really is awesome news !

However it would have been 10 folds more awesome IF we had more HD Channels !

I love the BBC HD Channel (when it has documentaries on) but the stupid thing is only On for a short time !! the rest of the time it is just the Preview.

Any whoo Thank You for telling us this
