How long is it going to take VM to swap out every box (and make sure they all work)?

May I suggest we keep Tivo talk in this thread http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...l#post34974569 so this one doesn't get cluttered?

Just a thought, and it's not a rumour or anything that i've heard :)

I really can't see SKY relinquishing their premier channels and as suggested earlier their red button service unless they are forced to. After all they are SKY's carrot to get new customers and indeed existing VM customers to sign with them and not VM.

I would LOVE to see them though PLUS ESPNA HD + Scy fy HD.

Hopefully this means that the rest of the Discovery channels will finally go widescreen.

Interesting comment left on this page by "Big Red" today, bit of an update on his previous post (bottom of page):

No idea of the validity of the comments, but there does seem to be a new HD rumour every other day at the moment. Lets hope there's no smoke without fire.

Who is this "Big Red" guy? I like the sound of what he posts, but without knowing what his sources are and how accurate his information is, I shall remain sceptical.

Yes i have read it before all i can say is i will believe it when i see it,could be there may be a "skyHD" bundle on its way sometime or other,but it would have to be reasonable as i am sure like skys own customers vm customers would have a £10 charge levied no doubt lets face it,sky would not wsant virgin to be selling it for less then them.Unless of course ofcons own pay tv enquirey orders them to sell sky sports/ movies HD at regulated prices.


But in time honoured virgin words its "coming soon":D

This big red guys post does indeed sound very very genuine... the tone smacks of the truth to me...
