Your point about PCs: Again, people have PCs that are not Pentium 2s because that is what is sold. Am I missing something here? Let's say you have a Pentium 2 PC and it blows up, what are your choices on the market? Any Pentium 2s....no? How odd!
And finally, your doozy of a comment about the evolution of providers catering for new technology...Not overly sure what you mean here BUT, like I said, the HD market is miniscule compared to the SD market....why...THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DONT CARE. It makes no odds that their TV is HD ready...thats all they could buy. It makes no odds that their PC is a Quad Core...thats all they could buy.
Anyway, thats my rant over. HD looks nice, but so does SD upscaled. END OF.

Thats your opinion, but as said before, time will tell, but from what we know, people are abondining VM's TV service in their droves.
When the next quarters figures are released then we will see how much of an uptake there is of SKY's HD offer, I bet its huge. Why not when it costs more or less the same money..?
You might be happy to pay for what I would consider an inferior TV service for roughly the same price, a lot of people will want to utilise the potential of their TV's they paid quite a few quid for.
Anyway, must go, Ross Kemp in Afgananistan is on in Full HD.........makes all the difference, you can hear the bullets fly in 5.1 surround sound.
If you want to discuss this further then I will get two bean tins and a piece of string for us to communicate with, you obviously havent evolved too far.....lol
BTW, who gives a stuff aboutt 50meg BB, VM are always banging the drum about that one and putting a lot of resources into its development and roll out? mabye they could have channeled some of that cash into moving with the times and sorting out the poor HD content......
