Just seen an advert for Sky Sports HD.

How can they claim "Barclays premire league Exclusive in HD"? Surely the fact that ESPN are showing some in HD makes that statement wrong?

I suppose it coupld be argued that the matches THEY are showing are exclusive to THEM. If that is what they are saying then I think the advertising is significantly misleading.

Very interesting.

Branson always said he wanted to be in every home in the country via owning utilities (gas, electricity,water), but I never realised he was also interested in telecoms at such at early stage. Well it took a long time, but he finally got his hands on Mercury.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I remember the Harry Enfield series of adverts but I'm strangely having difficulty remembering Sir Richard. :confused: Maybe vaguely.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'finally got his hands on Mercury' as the consumer division of Cable & Wireless was sold on by NTL to NPower and is still in operation. The VM telephony service may run on legacy Cable & Wireless exchanges and infrastructure backbone but I don't think that is really the Mercury side of the business that we knew.

See Mercury Communications for a brief history.

:LOL:

By far the best post that i have seen on here since i joined and i have to agree with you he should have t-shirts printed ( he would make a killing of us ) unless the catchphrase was i am coming soon :D

Or it could be like the old film and everybody stand up and say that i am media boy

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I can't believe I never thought of it before and I'm not sure how I thought of it now! ;)

Feel free to add to my rep. here, I could do with an ego boost! :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

All seems to have gone a bit quiet on the Living HD, History HD and Eurosport HD front. Come on VM lets keep the momentum going!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Who said anything about History or Eurosport HD? The only one that has been mentioned is Living HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

They were testing a while ago and Media Boy had them on his list but was told to remove them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Is it Christmas already? I don't think I've seen many toy or game adverts yet. They usually start as soon as the kids go back to school if not before. :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Game adverts are on all year round, because, you know, it isn't just kids who buy them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I meant games for kids of Santa Claus delivery age not Peter Pans like you Nookie. :rudo:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Well, I wasn't just talking about people my age either, but people older and even your age still play games. And games for younger ones are advertised all year round too.
