I have been really patient with VM but I feel now that I will have to defect to Sky.

With regard to on-demand, yes it is useful once in a while, but that is just it, once in a while.

I don't want to upset the VM harcore faithful (of which I was one), but I am just getting a bit fed up of being given hope of additional HD channels.
Sorry to disappoint you but virgin have 53million have over half a million viewers to TV on demand - that's all of BBC iPlayer, and soon ITV on demand - not to mention 4, and Bravo plus other channels. I don't see Sky managing to come even close to that.

Sorry but cable just has the flexibility when it comes to providing services.
