Whatever HD channels we get and whenever we get them surely isn't that important in the short term unless you're in the throws of deciding to jump ship to satellite or might buy a HD TV and sign up to the VM HD service if your favourite channel was about to become available in HD on cable. |
Sorry Felim, think you may have misunderstood my comments if the sarcasm is aimed at myself. All info I have posted today has been paraphrased from the web cast to investors by Neil Berkett at 1pm today. None of it is idle speculation and untill proven otherwise can be taken pretty much Verbatim. Yes more HD channels would be nice before Crimbo but it is not a problem if there aren't any and you are indeed correct in saying people should not jump ship. All i am trying to do is stop any CS chinese whispers being taken as fact when even the CEO's intention is not
to do anything significant until next year. BTW Felim I promise this is not intended as a dig as you a generally a very level headed person.
