UK HD-DVD launch imminent?

Could the UK launch of HD-DVD be happening within the next month or two? A forum member on Digital Spy spotted this :

Please note: The following Sky Box Office films will no longer play in High Definition [HD] on SBO HD1(756) and SBO HD2 (757) in July and August: These changes are effective from Monday 10th July.

King Kong
The Constant Gardener
Cry Wolf
Serenity
Doom
Nanny McPhee
Pride & Prejudice

Please remove any HD flags from your listings/ PPV Picks of The Day. A full amendment detailing the schedule changes will be released as soon as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience.


The common link is that they all have something to do with Universal, one of the studios heavily involved with HD-DVD. It would make commercial sense to make sure that any recent movies available as HD were exclusive to the new HD-DVD platform, so as not to dilute sales.
