I have had supposed hd box from day one,It was called tv drive then and now have a v+.And i have been promised since then HD channels were coming,So personally will believe it when i see it.VM are full of fall promises and constantly never delivering,I personally think VOD is crap and believe if it had to be paid for no one would use it.I just hope VM hurry up and deliver the HD Channels,Because 1 day Sky will relise and scrap the £10 charge as they did with the Sky+ and the flood gates will open and i personally will then jump ship.

Regards the H/D channels that VM have been promising, I called them recently about this, and they told me that they have 4 coming soon. Its all to do with band width they said, and that most of this has been taken up with broadband internet? Like the other poster mentioned, I was on the point of leaving VM as well, but will wait to see the outcome of these new channels.
Cheers, Smudger.

I'm pretty relaxed about when we get the new HD channels, something to look forward to. The upscaled detail provided through my V+ BOX is enough to keep me going meanwhile. ah okay when the f*** are we getting them.:mad:

That's a point, why do they keep removing or renaming channels all the time, we have had, UK Gold, then Dave now Watch?
