They really need to sort themselves out with linear HD. Looking at the Sky HD line-up Virgin's paltry one HD channel does look rather feeble, but then Sky's installation charge is rather comical, and the thought of helping to fund the Murdoch machine is enough to put me offf.

VM are keeping very tight lipped about it, which either indicates that they are embarrassed about the poor offering or are going to bring us a big surprise at some point in the future!
My personal view is that we will get all the terrestrials in HD and there will be more HD choice on VOD. This would give people real choice between paid for linear HD channels with Sky or HD programming free of charge with VM (apart from films).
Personally, I hope for more, but I'm not that optimistic. I hope that someone with some good inside knowledge can offer us some reassurance on this forum.
