I signed up for VM after being told by a customer service person that Virgin would be adding more HD channels this year. If it turns out that was a lie, then I have been sold a product on false pretences and I want out.
I've nothing against VOD, it could be a wonderful service but the fact is after all this time the amount of HD content on VOD is absolutely laughable. Sky broadcast vastly more HD content every single day, so for Virgin to use VOD as an argument not to add HD channels is truly pathetic.
I'm going to speak to Virgin and get out of my contract if I can and go to Sky. I'd much sooner not, as I find Murdoch repugnant, but the truth of the matter is that Virgin's service is far inferior to Sky's offering and is showing no signs of improving. And frankly Virgin Media's CEO isn't far behind Murdoch in the offensive stakes now anyway. They guy is one of the most obnoxious figures ever to run a large corporation.

You've completely lost me there with that snide remark. HD is a vast improvement over HD, and if someone can't see that then the only explanations are either that their viewing hardware is inadequate, or they simply lack good enough eye sight to appreciate the difference.
Neither of which is at all uncommon.
