We've had the tech explanation, of HD being delivered in MPEG4 format, however do you think the majority of customers who have SKY Movies & Sports in HD, but no TiVo box will fully understand or care about this explanation?
I always thought Virgin prided themselves on HD being free on their platform. It was SKY who dictated that SKY Movies HD and SKY Sports HD had to be charged at £7.00 per month to Virgin customers. Now by making the SKY Movies and SKY Sports HD on demand content exclusive to TiVo customers Virgin are effectively putting another pay-wall between the HD content and their customer. This stinks to high heaven! Someone with VHD paying their £7.00 per month will need to in future pay a further £5.00 to get TiVo if they want SKY Premium on demand content in HD.
