VM were always within their rights to say "Look we're working on getting HD. We're in negotiations but it's going to take time. Please don't think we're not trying becaus we are." - fine... but that's not what they've done.

What they HAVE done (and these are not opinions Stephen they are facts) is told us dates (estimated or otherwise - not forgetting the now infamous "Coming Soon") BEFORE negotiations were completed on when HD would come. These dates have encompassed the last 9 months or so.. and they've had to backtrack each time- how bloody stupid!!
What they said was Q1 2009, Summer and now autumn. To me they are estimates as they are not actually giving a date, ie 26th July! They each cover a period of months. How have they back tracked?

I have been at work that's where I have been.

Many business' give these sort of rough dates when announcing new products and stuff and delays happen and things take longer, its no big deal.

Is it just because its VM that everyone is kicking up a fuss?
