I'd rather talk about those missing hd channels, they only have 3 weeks to have those extra channels up and running. Tick tock virgin!

Holy moly 3D TV, the speed VM are operating at bringing any sort of decent HD content to its platform is farcical, so regarding 3D TV I imagine the press release will be along these lines.
"There has been a lot of speculation over the arrival of 3D-TV to the VM platform, I'd first like to scotch any rumours that Sky TV are stealing a march on us concerning this exciting new product, its not true.
Admittedly Sky have managed to currently bring over thirty new 3D channels to their EPG, but don't forget VM have access to BBC's exciting two hour a night 3D channel, added to this VM will send each family a "free" pair of red and green 3D glasses. We at Virgin strongly feel that the cheapo glasses we provide adds to the overall experience of a 3D program.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to tell our customers that VM are currently in negotiation with a number of broadcasters concerning upcoming HD channels, our previous CEO Mr Berkett mentioned many years ago that we didn't intend to let our competitors leave us behind in the HD stakes.
To make good on that promise I'm proud to announce that beginning in the first quarter of 2033 VM-TV will add Channel 4 HD and ITV HD to our EPG...I might add we are only just utilizing what our super duper fibre optic cable can do, its our ambition to add up to two more HD channels in the future as we don't really see a demand for 3D-TV"
