Sky claims that it's taken over 40,000 advance sales for its high-definition satellite service since bookings were opened to the public on April 13. That, it says, is more than the total number of sales achieved by Sky+ in its first 12 months. Launch date for the Sky HD service is now fixed, too, with things kicking off for real on Monday May 22.
In addition, as we reported yesterday, Sky has confirmed to HEXUS that all eight of its own HD channels will be broadcast in the highest possible resolution from the outset - 1080i - rather than being a mix of 720p and 1080i as had been planned.
Lots more interesting stuff in this HEXUS.headline.
