BSkyB readies for HDTV
Last week BSkyB created a dedicated web-site explaining some of its HDTV strategy (www.sky.com/hd). The site doesn’t detail precisely how many channels will be on offer, nor the price it will levy for the service, but comprehensively explains to viewers what will be needed in the way of equipment to be ready for Sky’s high-def offerings when “they start in 2006”, according to the site.
