I agree with that Andy and the 56% (or whatever) VM subs that use it are good numbers but i will reiterate a point i made in another thread.
Most people still like to sit down and watch the same programme on the same channel at the same time each week.
With HD demand ever increasing, VM are failing to let their "top" customers (i.e V+) sit and watch those programmes in HD. Now i understand that the amount of HD that people will watch over and over i.e Lost ect is small and a lot owned by Sky BUT they could have given themselves some breathing room by easily adding Chnl4HD and ITVHD - they have failed to do it and it makes them look backward looking and a poor substitute to Sky.
Sky is more easily available, i get that, and therefore will always have the money, influence and be quicker "on the ball" with new technologies. FINE! But if this was a 100m race then Sky are already half way down the track whilst VM are still in the dressing room putting on their jockstrap.
It's not good enough!
V+ was sold as an HD box primarily and a TV drive secondarily IMO.
It's time they put more linear HD channels on their system!
