Virgin Media's TV Results are out:
Virgin added 20,400 new TV customers.
During the quarter, Virgin added 56,600 V+ DVR subscribers to reach an installed base of 668,500. This represents a penetration level of just 19% of their digital subscribers which leaves significant further up-sell opportunities.

We have announced the launch of six new HD channels from Channel 4, ESPN, LIVING, FX, MTV and National Geographic. These will be available for free to all subscribers of our top basic TV tier "XL" with our V+ DVR and Channel 4 HD will be available to all digital TV subscribers along with BBC HD. We plan to launch more HD channels with a focus on content which most benefits from being shown in HD. In addition, recent proposals from Ofcom, the UK telecoms and media regulator, would enable us to offer our customers certain Sky Sports HD and Sky Movies HD channels, which BSkyB would be obliged to provide at a regulated wholesale price. The detail of this proposal is now under consultation.
