Out of the long list of Sky channels, the only shows I would like to see are on Sky Atlantic.

Having said that there are only 2! Game of Thrones, which having read the books, could well be a disappointment, and Mad Men for the missus. which hasn't been sorted out, due to contractual differences.

Tivo coming Wednesday - so I'm happy with Virgin at the moment....
(As long as they finally get the pricing right)

This is a personal opinion, I realise everybody wants different things.

And a fair point at that , what's good for one may not suit another person , its really down to personal preference.

The other yes i agree would be nice but lets not forget (if you love TV so much you'll be on) XL customers get LOADS of HD for no extra cost.

Not strictly true a new customer pays an HD activation charge.

But no monthly fee!!!!! :sleep:

It was pretty obvious what you meant, but with VM you have to remember..

When suckering you into a new contract or adding charges or infact making any changes to what you get they can be extremely vague and its you who needs to make sure you got the worlds best lawyers to tread the contract,listen to the phone call.

But you need ot be word perfect when talking to them.

Key HD channels missing Sky sports 3 and 4 HD , Universal HD , ESPNA HD , Sky Atlantic SD and HD , MGM HD , Disney Cinemagic HD , Nat Geo Wild HD , other ITV HD channels.

I totally agree with you on the channels we still not have got.

Personally, I'm content with the sports channels we already have but the others on your list would be very welcome. Add those to TiVo and it would be a slam dunk for VM, IMHO.

I'm sure that if Virgin stepped up to the plate Denphone would give them the credit. For nearly a year they haven't so what else can he/she post?

HD is the present, to have so little by comparison to Sky is pathetic, especially in nature programme field which HD really sets off. Add CBS channels missing movie channels and still some HD movies, Atlantic etc the list goes on. With Virgin's response being as ever sub standard

In your and denphone's opinion, to which you are entitled.

I think it may be the style of the message delivered, rather than the content - the constant negative repetitive whining (imho).
