Sky Atlantic, preferably in HD please. And in time for the new seasons of Mad Men and Game of Thrones this Spring.

I'm not doubting that they'll have the capacity for 80 HD channels in another 2 years. My doubts are cast when it comes to VM closing the deal and successfully negotiate the terms in order for them to be able to carry that many HD channels. At the moment I've got 36 HD channels on my TiVo box but Sky have access to 55.

So even if VM manage to hit their 80 HD channel target I'd be willing to bet that Sky would have also expanded their HD line up to include way more than 80.

Let's face it, if they're unable to release 1 single mobile app on time, what are the chances of them being able to release another 44 HD channels in a timely manner?

That's a good point and VM have really been pushing TiVo this year which only leaves me even more dissapointed that the couldn't keep to the release schedule of the all singing & dancing iPad app!

Release schedules are never a exact science

NetFlix, and fix apps already on TiVo.

US TiVo has netflix, virgin must have known netflix was coming to uk eventually, why not have them start work on that app earlier? makes sense to me, anyway.

Very true, denphone.

I do still stand by my point though, they've had a year to to get the iPad app out and couldn't even manage that. In that time Sky have release 4 brand new iPad apps in addition to making a significant UI overhaul to their flagship Sky+ app!

The story is the same when it comes to HD channels also I'm afraid; Virgin always lagging behind.

from what i saw on official forum, isnt it true now that even tho they removed support for non-virgin apps on phones and that theres still no official ones for everyone to use? because if so, that's stupid.

Maybe they were getting Support calls for non supported devices

I did "Death Metal" not quite my thing but not bad.

I also agree an internet radio app would be a good thing on VM TV.
