The fact nothing has been mentioned since Berketts boast of three or four HD channels in the next three months, made me realise VM would let us down yet again concerning HD.  |
Yes, not good. If people want HD, Sky is the place to go and always will be.
Not only do Sky control all the premium HD stuff (films/sports) but they indirectly control most of the other HD channels too, ie History, National Geographic, FX etc.

I am not joking with you but agbnielsen is reporting that Living +2 will launch on Virgin and Sky on the 1st of April.

Looks like positioning to me.
VM are rebranding their channels later in the year and have already launched Living 2+1, This latest launch gives them another slot on the Sky EPG and around Autumn (I think) VM will rebrand all their channels. So it might all be messy now with having Trouble and Living 2+1 next to each other, but it should all make sense later.

I know they both have BBC/ITV Player, but that is not all the programmes, and then not normally until the following day.

Probably rights issues. The main channels carry programming ie football, that the Beeb and ITV only have the rights to broadcast on their main channels only. It's the same reason why you don't see some programming on VOD.

I think someone should make a programme called Challenge Anneka, sounds rather good to me, as do the jumpsuits.....
