Otherwise, the Corporation is going to be left far behind in HD broadcasting by its commercial competitors.

That's a guest blog, and they are recommendations from someone who has no connection to the BBC at all, as such it's pretty much the same as me saying "The BBC should launch a super HD 3D channel next year!" neither has any effect on what the BBC will actually do.

Yeah HD should become the standard around 2012. Most people should have HD tvs by then. If you haven't got a HD TV by now your sad!!

I don't think anyone would actually call themselves sad, that would indeed be saaaaaaaad.

Hmmm, very bad news if true:

£14 on top of VIP pack to get Sky Premiums HD on both my boxes would not be very impressive at all...

In comments here, he also says Sky Basics looking like September:

Doubt that's true cause if you have a multiroom sub it just mirrors your subscription so I really really doubt a per box fee would be applied to access the HD channels

It would be a big surprise to me, and flies in the face of all previous VM policy. I hope this is wrong!

Wouldn't personally pay that but there will be lots who will. If it was for all 4 sports HD channels maybe.

Think someones plucked a price out the air here. Virgin should take note of the poll on here.

So if you have multiroom 2 boxes with Sky and you take out HD package. You pay £20, £10 per box is that correct?

Ben B 13-07-2010 15:58

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 
Yeah, plus the £10 multiroom fee as well. So it would be £Sub + £10 per box multiroom + £10 per box with HD subscription
