Been like this since the start of the week. I kept getting fed up of scrolling down to channel numer 93723 to find the HD equivilant of any channel!

Is HD an extra cost?

Bit of a scam? Surely they have a duty to provide a better picture.

BBC, ITV and Channels 4 and 5 opted out of the HD switch in the new epg. (Though E4HD is now in the old E4 spot). Since it was only for people who have HD it seems weird that they would opt out, but they did.

Yep only for those who shell out another £10 a month, i think my monthly sky bill is £90 now :US:

BBC1 and ITV 1 opted out as their HD channels aren't the regional versions (as on SD) so it would confuse those looking for South Today etc; also ITV1 and Channel 4 SD have regional advertising whereas their HD versions don't (AFAIK)
That would make sense, I guess.

HD camera cost much more than SD ones so the extra sub helps I guess

That doesn't tell the whole story though, Sky has had to invest millions in new cameras to take the HD pictures, which will be capitalised in the accounts and therefore included on the Balance Sheet and not the P&L account except for the provison for depreciation.
