What a terrible advert, doesn't even mention Virgin right till the end and has no mention of their products. What a waste of money.

It's about the brand. Further adverts will appear on other platforms :)

Quite enjoyed that advert. It's clever, friendly and non-threatening. Well done Virgin :):)

Clever use of the Madness lyrics aswell.

Just had a flyer through the door that says...

Quote:

A great range of channels, including HD:

Sky 1 (Non HD logo shown)
Sky Living (Non HD logo shown)
BBC HD (HD logo used)
ITV1 HD (HD logo used)
Discovery (Non HD logo shown)
Sky Sports News (Non HD logo shown)
4HD (HD logo used)
Five HD (HD logo used)
Film4 HD (HD logo used)

Add Sky Sports and Sky Movies any time you like for a bit extra, in HD if you want

Sky Sports 1 HD
Sky Sports 2 HD
Sky Movies HD
The flyer makes use of all the new Sky logos... Cock up about Sky Sports News or something more?

The way you have it worded can be read that the channel list is the great range and there is HD too.

It doesn't say a great range of HD channels including

Normal marketing misread - which they know people will do

more channels and hd channels will be added this year for sure. As for the price rise,well yes none of us like it but it happens every year anyway so it`s not a surprise,is it? Let`s hope they`re entertainment channels though as we have more than enough shopping channels,adult channels and radio channel.

Virgin's selection of news channels is pretty woeful compared to what I was used to with Sky, would definitely like to see that number get increased.

I maybe off the mark here ( usually am :p: ) ... but wont the final plug pull on analouge give VM far more scope to unify the network and add as much as they can fill their boots with ( assuming they can pay for it all of course ) ..

doubt its actually holding them back as such but if everyone in a cabled area was getting the exact same lineup from the same main headend then it should be easier to add stuff without some peeps being left out and complaining

as i say probably wide of the mark and clutching at straws :D but i think VM's TV service has vastly improved in the last year but it still needs better PQ on some channels and a better choice of channels on all fronts.

Apart from Milton Keynes and Westminster there is no more analogue tv on the Virgin Media network. everyone is on one Super Head-end too. ;)

I know whos complaining, but whos left out?

More channels are a coming too!
