But it is now a week on and according to my planner there are 12 programs available - more than a quarter of which are childrens programs.

A total of 7 hours programming (and that is being generous as I have rounded up). There is approx 9 hrs programming per night on the BBC HD channel, so over the week a total of 63hours of programming. Even if we assume that 3/4 of it is repeats that should still be 15 hours of "catch up".

Now dont get me wrong I am happy that there is a bit more HD programming on the system (and as I said I dont blame VM for this) but it does feel a bit poor.

Granted there isnt much more on the iPlayer website - but overall pretty poor.
