It also blows out of the water the idea that people who buy HD TVs do so because they want vast quantities of subscription-based HD content, especially sports and movies. Doubtless there are a highly vocal cadre of people who complain that there isn't enough HD on VM, and maybe there isn't, especially when people are paying for it. But these statistics from Freesat show that there are also a large number of people who are happy to have their HD-cravings satisfied by what BBC and ITV are currently offering, with the promise of more FTA-HD in due course.
