I am not moaning but just saying lets see it appear before we shout from the rooftops because we should have had it like last year like several other things as well DF, l am not anti Virgin but l am not pro Virgin either like some forum members, in my mind their communication leaves a lot to be desired at the moment.

And with TiVo the platform is in place
Virgin intend to reach 50 HD Channels by the end of the year
There will be more SD Channels arriving (some will be +1)

Did Neil Berkett drop you as a baby LOL
Certain things Virgin do annoy me from time to time and the lack of channel updates can be frustrating however if I felt the way you did I'd have moved to sky ages ago.

are you sure?
If VM gave dates for everything they were going to do, it would be commercial suicide.
Competitors would plan things to spoil launches & get to content before them. Remember the merger with ITV?

Re: sky sports red button
That article states VM had a penetration rate of 38 percent (1.4 million customers) so I would imagine HD is highly important to the bigwigs at VM.

In an investors presentation Neil Berkett stated there would be 80 HD channels within 2-3 years , so if you say 3 years thats 17 a year.

Re: sky sports red button
We seem to be saying that we will have the same amount of HD channels as sky by the end of the year, I cant see that but great if it does.

Virgin say the red button on sky sports will be available from the 2011-2012 season. Don`t know why the wait unless its a technical matter?
