I agree that HD is emerging market that could make Virgin a lot of money. Plus they should start plans now instead of waiting until they are forced to do it.

So all those who say this will not be a mass market must feel your cheeks reddening now..

Stats stats stats, can be manipulated anyway you want. It depends on how the question was worded. Finally its extremely dodgy to upscale 74% of however many people were asked for a survey (where 3% to 4% of those asked would have responded) to the population of the uk.

True its harder and more expensive to convince people to come back than it is to keep people. Virgin needs to get its finger out as I doubt it needs to get as many channels as it thinks to satisfy people. I'd be happy with 5+ true HD channels over 30 part time HD/SD upscale channels.
