Very negative write-up on the usually impartial BBC, seemingly supporting many of the forum posters:
- No 4k
- Disappointing content
- VM hands tried by Sky and BT
- concerns over declining Virgin Media tv numbers
- tablet is "only" HD.
- VM claiming there is no demand for 4K
- VM "waiting to see" if it is 3D type scenario
- lack of HDR, VM hoping and "relying on 3rd parties" to add support
- Expensive tablet runs on old, dated (VM modified) version of Android
- lack of equivalent to Sky's multi TV approach
- tablet is not an anticipated enhancement as tablet sales are in decline
- kids app is targeted at "premium subscription options"
- Virgin will find it "hard to succeed"
- "one wonders what Virgin's marketing and communications will be"

Wow. Maybe VM should have splashed out on a better brand of Champagne at the launch!!
