Quality is quality of the programme, not the very small difference in the quality of the picture.

Completely agree, we want both though, surely. I think the bone of contention is that people can get HD elsewhere and VM don't appear to care!
Completely agree with you on the programming front though, it's all a crock of poop anyway! The only channels I watch are 1-4, BBC3/4, The ITV's, E4 sometimes and SkySports/Sultana. The rest of the channels are a waste of time. From my point of view I want those in HD. Oh and Sky One for my 24 fix. Sky One HD would be spiffing.

Well, I take it back. Response from Neil Berkett's email address (Please note, this is a response from his address, not necessarily him....
"No I was referring to HD channels which was absolutely our intention. We are negotiating as we speak and will be launching 6 or seven channels at once shortly
Neil Berkett | Chief Executive Officer"
So there you go. Take from that what you will.
Sorry, I feel I should clarify, I did not make the email above up as an April fools joke, it is a genuine response from a Neil Berkett VM email address!!
