Cable Forum - Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1

Or are apathetic. I certainly wouldn't say I'm happy with what I'm getting, but haven't got to the point of changing - a price rise (especially when Sky don't have one) & nothing in return isn't the way to keep customers happy

Isn't that the point being made? Sky and Virgin are different. What you really want is Sky. What you've done is get Virgin and then complained that they're not the same. Either way, we've had a year of added channels, including hd variants, and improved on demand content thanks to Sky Anytime. Going forward our broadband speeds are to double, more hd on demand content will be added and we'll see Tivo red button and controller apps. Really not true to say prices are going up with nothing in return. But, you have to do what's right for you, and if having the things that Sky do best is more important to you than having the things that Virgin do best then, if you can, you should move.

Sky anytime in HD! Finally! I loved having the movies in anytime but hated the fact they were not in HD when I pay for HD! Keep up the good work VM.

I'd like ESPNA HD, but it wouldn't take much of what's available to appease most. I'm a big fan of nascar but there's really nothing else on Premier Sports that floats my particular boat - at £8 a month, makes you think an unbundled package of channels would be about £400 a month!!!

I think it's a bit harsh to say that Sky are being awkward with channels. They, not Virgin, bought the rights to F1 and have at least the right to profit from that by keeping the hd variant as an exclusive to themselves to drive new subs. Hd is one of Sky's few plus points, after all-no sense in losing your best selling point by giving it to your competitor. At one point I had a fear we wouldn't see this channel on Virgin at all. Keeping all versions of Sky Atlantic exclusive was maybe a little petulant, but I think we're reaching the end of that particular issue.
