Morning all.

Just noticed on Virgin a sign saying 'Dave HD coming soon'. Anyone know if this will be free to air or not?

Thanks.

Cliff.

It won't be FTA. It's been testing off EPG on sat for a couple of weeks, and intertestingly at high bitrates (around 20 Mbps) and 1080p25.

It's due to launch tomorrow IIRC, along with Watch HD.

It's a pointless HD channel though, i really can't see there being much HD content.

HD or not; free to air or not; Dave is a pointless, non-channel.

What about Dave+1? :)

In fairness to Dave, a large percentage of the other satellite channels consist of utter tripe as well.

I must confess, I do quite like QI so I watch that occasionally and I thought Compete for the Meat was hilarious.
