Well the big news from Sky on HD is that – well there is no news, not yet anyway. The satellite broadcaster treated journos to a Cappy or two in the wonderful Bar Italia – the place where John Logie Baird cracked television for the first time - and then shipped us over to Groucho's for the first ever live demo via satellite of its new service. But the broadcaster stopped short of naming the day its service will launch and how much it will charge.
The demo itself was pretty impressive with a large projector and several 40inch LCD screens carrying a trailer that showed clips from movies, documentaries and the Champions League final in HD. To these eyes it certainly looked impressive. After the demo, Sky's Director of Customer Products and Services Brian Sullivan, gave a fairly detailed speech about why Sky is launching HDTV and followed up with some reasonably candid responses to questions from the floor. You’ll find the details to those questions in further posts on HDTVUK.
