Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Hi Toto, l believe the answer to the HD channels in 2009, has already been answered, it was said by VM, way back in 2008, that we would get them by the end of 2009, but this has happened. It has been stated that we will get them this year.

Arthur NO IT WAS NOT, stop twisting things for oyu own good. firstly back in dec 08 they said they hoped to have them by 1st quater 09 then they said they where workign on it, then a internal source said it would be july 09, that then happoened. they then said late last year they hope to have 20-30 hd channels by mid 2010 on the question and answer. WHAT THEY DID SAY IN 2008 WAS, they could have up to 30-40 hd channels if they switched off analogue ie that how much space they would have not that they would have.

Sorry Arthur, I do not think you have. In post #32 on this thread you said:

Quote:
in 2008 it was announced by VM, that by the end of 2009 we would have approx 30 HD channels, on VM
So what was your answer? Did VM announce in 2008 that by the end of 2009 they would have approx 30 channels, or was it said in 2009, and did they say they would, or that they hoped to?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Hi Toto, Just to clarify it, l read an article in October 2008 and it was by CEO of VM, that he planned to have between 20/30 HD channels by the end of 2009.

I believe this was at the time when we had the trouble with Sky basic channels. We have now heard that this will be this year 2010.

I won't get into an argument over this, as this has been confirmed by several members on this forum, and not just me, I am now accepting the fact, from what l have read, that it will be this year. I read a lot into this over the past 18 months, but some people do dismiss it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

I have read The Beano twice in the last 18 months, thats a lot for me too!!! However there is a distinct difference between planned and definately happening. the best of plans may not happen. Hitler planned to take over the world and irradicate in his opinion the inferior species' within the world. That didnt quite go to plan now did it. I plan a lot of lessons being a teacher and all that but that does not mean I will necessarily deliver all of them. Things crop up that stop our plans happening as we hope they will do.

As we all know Media boy works hard to turn speculation into fact, but as we know that does not always happen for one reason or another. Does that mean we need need to be negative towards him? Correct answer = NO

We really must stop being so opinionated over what is fact/speculation/fiction. Lets just wait and see and above all be patient. There is nothing like a surprise.

Happy new year all by the way.

Well, I'm not going to detract from the work that Media Boy does by countering what you say Arthur, I think your record speaks for itself, but thanks for taking the time.

I am somewhat surprised that a Beano reader has the audacity to express such opinions - It is a well known fact that ALL right minded people favour the Dandy - To have read the Beno one is a mistake, to confess to it is tragic, to then read it a second time is boardering on criminality !!!!
