Like yourself lemarsh I'm also a veteran from the original Nynex days, and back then cable was certainly on a par with Sky's TV offering.
The sad part of all this is that VM were the "first" to bring their customers HD!! In my opinion Sky also stole a march on VM in 2001 by grasping the nettle and turning off their analogue signal, I believe VM are intending on keeping their analogue on until the end of 2010.
This can't have helped over the years as bandwidth has been at premium recently.
Anyway my contract also finishes this year, end of September, as much as I'd rather stay at VM if these almost "mythical" HD channels still aren't here and the line we are getting from VM is " don't panic, we will be releasing ten...yes count them, ten HD channels in the very near future", then I'm off to a provider who delivers on HD.

I think you lost the plot on that line MediaBoy.
