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....?
Polls can be wrong. As for the lack of HD channels, how do you know VM is not ready now, or if not now, will be soon? As I understand it, the technical problems stopping them introducing HD are bandwidth related. This is why they are in the process of turning off the Analogue TV system. How do you know that VM are not in discussions with various channels so that they can launch HD channels (I'd be surprised if we didn't see at least ITV HD and 4HD on the service)? That they haven't talked about it means nothing. Very few companies talk publically about negotiations.

Oh, and just to make one thing clear. I am saying that HD has not taken off YET. I am not saying it won't.
