National Geographic joins Sky's HD lineup

This is for our friends across the pond. National Geographic is going to be in Sky's HD lineup.
This is the first third party broadcaster to be in the lineup.
Currently you have high-def versions of Artsworld and Sky One, there are two Sky Movies stations, one Sky Sports channel, and one Sky Box Office channel.

The National Geographic channel is going to cover natural history, wildlife, science, and world exploration. The station is supposed to be here in the States in 2006. The more in HD the better, but I am kind of tired of this subject. Discovery HD Theater has been on the market for so long that I have seen a lot of sunrise and wildlife shows.
