New rule number ONE (well maybe number TWO). Never ask for an opinion here. You'll get several and start an argument, er I mean spirited discussion.
It's a very subjective question. The four new HD channels, plus the existing BBC HD, plus ESPN HD starting on Monday, cover quite a variety of tastes and should please quite a few existing HD TV owners and entice others to join the fray. Bear in mind that there is also a considerable amount of On Demand HD content available on Virgin Media too.
You decide. Look at what's available in terms of linear HD channels and the On Demand TV and Movies in HD. Peruse the schedules for the linear channels and see if your fave prog. is available and a must have in HD for you.
More HD channels are coming before the end of the year. So if you can get a reasonable deal on a HD TV and V+ Box now then do it and have a variety of HD to watch after Christmas lunch. Alternatively, get the V+ Box this side of Christmas, to avoid the rush, and see what HD TV deals appear in the sales. You can use the PVR facility of the V+ Box to record HD programmes and then watch them in the New Year when you have your discounted HD TV.
