It looks like that from sitting here - but if you step back a bit (and take in Joe Public) - not many people actually appreciate H/Def Quality vs Programming

lunch time today i mentioned Indiana Jones in Hi-Def TV on Sunday and all our staff without exception showed a lot of interest when they clearly thought i meant some new adventure - but after realising i meant in Hi-Def all i got was, 'Uh - wha - oh yeah' and carried on with their sandwich

for argument sake if we said it costs 4 times as much to air HD vs SD - then VM (on limited budget) can either broadcast 100 hours HD or 400 hours SD

and maybe VM just asked the same question to our staff - what they gonna do? - no brainer i think

I'll just add - that "No more HD" sounds a bit finite when in reality VM suggest there will be no more HD 'this year' - and a murmer that they will have another look next year
