It may be that there are more to come but right now there are not many at all.

Re: HD channels ?

Depends on what exactly you want from the service. If you want loads of channels, loads of repeat channels, loads of advertising/ shop channels, loads or c**p programming then Sky is a better option...

Re: HD channels ?

So what does V+ service offer? Can you do series link on V+. Where you can get it to record the programme everytime its on?

Re: HD channels ?

To answer the question in the PM you just sent me you will get the channels as listed on the virgin media site that holds the answers to a lot of the questions you have posted so far
http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html...ls_sizexl.html
You do not get all the channels that you could on Sky+ as most of these are only carried by Sky.

Are there any channels on VM that are not also on Sky? Back on topic: if you want Sky Sports in HD, or Sky One in HD, in fact anything other than BBC Preview in HD, then Sky is the ONLY option. And, given the relationship between VM and Sky, this is likely to remain the case for a long time to come.
