In what areas, exactly? - Apparently, there's now less HD VOD than there was a year ago
- the ITV HD linear trial disappeared never to return
- VM publicly announced that they had the rights to Channel 4 HD both linear and VOD over a year ago yet it's *still* only available on Sky
- Vbox users have only 1 day of EPG data
- Teletext withdrew their service from the platform completely
- the VOD menus look almost *exactly* the same as they did on Telewest, if a little less psychedelic
- VM is the only platform on which BBC Red Button won't give me weather for Plymouth
- Things like genre search, which were even in an ancient NTL EPG, have gone
- Where are subtitles on VOD??
- For that matter, where are the subtitles on BBC HD?
- Why, why, why do the standard boxes still have this awful remote?!
I'm sure there's more, but I am *trying* not to come across as a complete ********! I'm just struggling to see what enhancements the TV platform has seen since VM became VM. Skippable playlists, maybe?
