I'm the opposite. I have watched VOD maybe 2 or 3 times over all the years it's been running, but now watch HD content almost exclusively. Of course I have little chocie of HD on Virgin so watch what I can on BBC HD and get the rest from blu-ray, game consoles, and other sources. I'll be buying an Apple TV sometime (when my Virgin broadband actually works at a decent speed) and getting lots of HD content there.
I'm all in favour of the idea of VOD, it's the same as Apple TV's service in principle afterall, but I find the lack of content on Virgin's VOD service a total deal killer. It's almost all in SD, and even if I was prepared to watch SD (which I'm not), even then the selection is just abysmal. Personal taste obviously. As an example though, where are the latest seasons of 24, Lost, Fringe, House, Heroes, Mad Men and countless others on VOD? They're not even there in SD, let alone HD.
