I believe that there are still some customers with SD only boxes though.

A very good point Andrew.

Virgin have admitted that they have been concentrating more on broadband of late and they will now concentrate more on content. There has been speculation that they may buy back UKTV.

However, what we will get in future is likely to be a combination of tv channels and on demand and streaming services. I am hopeful that we will be getting Amazon within the next 18 months. Kingdom can be found on demand right now.
I recently read an article that said that VM expect to be spending less on linear channels and more on VOD content.

Perhaps this is why new channels seem to have dried up?

It is a bit sickening if we pay over £100 a month that you can get no offers just because you have the best everything and pay the most.....
I'd be interested in taking that survey, do you have a link to it please?
