This was posted on Reuters this morning regarding Virgin Media:-

"We are working to ensure our TV service stays ahead of changes in consumer

behavior. We expect to increase our High Definition (HD) content steadily to

complement our existing linear and on-demand line-up. We are currently

negotiating with several broadcasters with a view to launching at least five new

HD channels in the third quarter of 2009. We've recently had some positive

results from our VOD advertising trial and this offers the potential for an

attractive revenue stream in the future."

It now appears to be the 3rd quarter before anything will happen. Perhaps!
