It seems wrong to me that any buissines has to be completely honest in paid advertisments, yet in press releases, which I assume cost nothing, they can offer potential customers anything they want, whether they deliver or not.
I'm not saying VM aren't working on getting hd channels, and I'm sure they fully mean to deliver on these claims, but they are saying things to encourage people to take or continue taking their service which they do not deliver. Hints of false advertising to me. virginruinedntl is right, the government maybe should step in and make some rules on what can be said in press releases.
