Exactly. This underlines my point that HD isn't something a majority of people would be willing to pay a premium for, but if it's there anyway, and they have the equipment to take advantage of it, of course they're going to do so.

All i was suggesting in the rest of my post is that VM are trying to fit their opinion around the fact that they cant provide it anyway! we all know they dont have the room for more HD channels, especially after the mpeg2 choice.

Sure, but that's something that could easily be remedied, if HD were indeed as big a selling point as some people claim. It all comes down to whether or not the numbers make sense in the end, and Virgin are obviously betting that they have enough VOD HD content to satisfy their customers.
