Sky Arts channel A bit of advance notice for you: over the next two months, UK-based TV channel Sky Arts 1 are broadcasting a range of excellent Pink Floyd-related programmes, and for those who have Sky Arts 1 HD, these programmes will be mirrored on that channel, broadcast in high definition.

Showing between August 11th, and October 1st, will be the absorbing documentary, A Technicolor Dream, David Gilmour's Remember That Night, and two distinctly different looks at Dark Side Of The Moon - the Classic Albums documentary, and the 1994 performance of the album from the PULSE release. Those things not shot in HD will be upscaled to 1080i so should look good if you can tune in to the high def version.

Here's when to catch the various shows:

August 11th - 00:00-01:35 - A Technicolor Dream
August 22nd - 21:50-23:25 - Remember That Night
August 23rd - 11:30-13:05 - Remember That Night

September 28th - 21:00-21:55 - Classic Albums: Dark Side Of The Moon
September 28th - 21:55-22:50 - PULSE: Dark Side Of The Moon live
