Sky Sports HD Collection question.

I've agreed to take out a new contract with Virgin Media, one of the inducements being I was offered Sky Sports Collection in HD as part of my package.

My main reason for doing this is because it will be good to watch the Premiership football coverage in HD, my previous package restricting me to watching games in standard definition only on channels 511 and 512.

However, on viewing my new HD channels, I can see nowhere that offers full coverage of Premiership football matches. 

This coming Sunday for example, West Ham v Liverpool, and Chelsea v Arsenal are available on the above named standard definition channels, but nowhere can I see they're available on HD channels.

Any advise please? One of the reasons I agreed to the new contract (and I am still in the cooling off period) is because of the reasons described in this thread regarding football coverage that I imagined, would be in high definition.

  • I've worked it out. Please ignore my post.

    Some matches are avalable in HD, but some are UHD, and I haven't subscribed to that.
