Anyone with "a good understanding of how business deals are done" shouldn't publicly announce 2nd 1/4 HD channels or summer HD channels B4 "contractual terms and such" are finalised!!!! They said one thing and then have renaiged on it... whatever spin you put on it Stephen, they were unrtuths, lies blah blah blah. ---------- Post added at 11:10 ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 ---------- Quote:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
They've so far backtracked on one announcement. If they've had difficulties making deals, then it isn't entirely their fault.
Sky News HD eh? I sure hope we get that! [/sarcasm] |

They simply said that they have 5/6 HD channels coming and mentioned a season they never actually stated they could come on a certain date. There has been no renaiging or back tracking. They gave a rough time frame for the channels and then that changed because of whatever reasons. So they gave a new estimate as to the date. You would still be moaning if they simply said nothing at all. They are just trying to let customers know that HD channels are coming and they expect to have the deal sorted by that time. Now its not their fault if things do take longer. In business delays can happen. At the end of the day its only a few TV channels, its not the end of the world if they take longer. I am sure there are bigger things in life to be worrying about than VM gettting HD. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
WHAT??? Read back on this very thread mate and have a read. Have you not been about on it much?? VM have said a couple of times we plan to get HD channels @ A B C times and didn't. Not sure where you've been Stephen!!!
Estimates LOL... you should be a politician! Spin spin spin. VM were always within their rights to say "Look we're working on getting HD. We're in negotiations but it's going to take time. Please don't think we're not trying becaus we are." - fine... but that's not what they've done. What they HAVE done (and these are not opinions Stephen they are facts) is told us dates (estimated or otherwise - not forgetting the now infamous "Coming Soon") BEFORE negotiations were completed on when HD would come. These dates have encompassed the last 9 months or so.. and they've had to backtrack each time- how bloody stupid!! And it's not about there being "bigger things in life" of course there are. I'm not fretting every night over it. I'm purly commentating on a message board on a company who have right royally cocked up over it's HD policy... ---------- Post added at 11:56 ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 ---------- Quote:

I have been at work that's where I have been. Many business' give these sort of rough dates when announcing new products and stuff and delays happen and things take longer, its no big deal. Is it just because its VM that everyone is kicking up a fuss? |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
No it's because on THIS issue they have been inept.
As i have said previoulsy i have never had any problems with them B4... they've always been a great company... ---------- Post added at 13:04 ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 ---------- Quote:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
I very much agree with Mobes on these issues.
To say "There's more to life than HD" is a complete cop out. I find it hard to see how anyone who is keen to get more HD channels without having to change to a different provider could be anything but hacked off with VM's failier to deliver. I may not have a great understanding of how business deals are done, but I understand that companys tell the customers what they want to hear. And to me, it certainly appears that is what VM are doing on this subject. I may be wrong about this, but it does seem that way. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
People will have a much bigger cause for complaint if by the end of Autumn there's nothing new. Until then, they haven't yet gone back on their second promise.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Before this new Autumn date i'm pretty sure i read that they said it would be This Summer..
Thats not to mention the whole "Coming Soon" debacle that's been at least 9 months, no Andrew? It certainly feels that long if not a darn site longer LOL |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Well the VM twitter guys keep saying Autumn time.
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Why does it come to mind that the word "twitter" is a very good description when it comes to VM telling us about HD?? ;)
