Well said, there are those on this board who will not admit that HD is an emerging market that is ready to take off big time. VM are no positioning themselves early enough to capatalise on this.

The best HDTV deals
By Charlie Ponsonby, SimplifyDigital
February 17 2009
Adverts for high definition TV (HDTV) are hard to escape, but is it any good and what are the cheapest deals for watching it?
Recent research commissioned by Sky and YouGov reveals 96% of people are now aware of HDTV and 74% are "interested" in watching their favourite programmes in HD quality.
With this in mind, Sky recently took the much anticipated decision to drop the price of their Sky+ HD digiboxes to £49 and push their HD service as their lead digital TV package.
At the same time Freesat, which also offers HD viewing, announced it has more than 200,000 customers.

Time for VM to make plans to capture the new possible customer base. 74.....yes 74% of nearly all the population (96%) ar intrested in getting HD
So all those who say this will not be a mass market must feel your cheeks reddening now..
I told you Stuart. VM need to be ready to capatlise on this now if their TV service has any future. Its no point missing the bus. When new subscribers go to SKY they will be in no hurry to switch to cable, thus the possible sale is more or less gone forever
Anything to say about the Poll quoted above all the naysayers....?
