Via email, a reply to my complaint.

Hi Liam

REFERENCE : 2862131

Thank you for your e-mail dated 25 April 2008. I apologise that you have
felt the need to write to us regarding this issue, at the moment we are
only able to provide HD content on BBC HD Channel and on our on-demand
service.

We are not looking at adding more HD channels for the meantime but we
would keep you updated if there is any change as regards this.

If you have further queries regarding this matter or any other issue,
please use the link provided below:
However he does say 'for the meantime'.

Only if you have Sky or freeview - VM's customers don't want HD and the company head states that VM doesn't need HD!

Re: No More HD - Confirmed By VM

This is interesting and frustrating.

Is this a "clever" trick by VM to make sky *think* they have the lead but behond the scenes they are busy at work signing deals for HD content?

You never know *Please*

Re: No More HD - Confirmed By VM

Well this shows you how wrong VM's CEO is on HD, just see where Comcast and Verizon are going:

VM's approach is marketing suicide for consumers IMHO, Sky must feel Christmas has arrived early.

Thoroughly agree Rob, I apologise for retaliating but it simply annoys me that people 'pick on' others on this forum.

Re: No More HD - Confirmed By VM

I couldn't afford a HD TV set, so it doesn't worry me, nor a large part of VM's customers either probably...

Re: No More HD - Confirmed By VM

It makes me glad I didn't spend much on an HDTV. I would have been a lot more upset if I had.

To make people who have bought an expensive HDTV feel a little better: my cheap TV is having colour problems occasionally.
