There is a clue from the content demonstrated that you will get a a selection of entertainment, drama, sports and movies. If you are on the XL TV package, you will get all of the available HD content, broadcast programming and TVoD, at no extra cost. However, as Virgin Media are acquiring additional HD content on an almost weekly basis at the moment, they would have to rerecord the adverts every few weeks in order to list the exact current channel line-up.

I just received a 'Dear Occupier' generic letter from VM offering a '2 for £23' telephone and HD TV service which, no doubt, is a national campaign to accompany the TV advertising. It cites the availability of 160 digital channels and shows a sample of 13 channel logos. It also shows logos for 12 HD channels, four Catch Up TV channels and Sky Sports and Sky Movies logos but does not indicate how many of these are currently available as this is a moving target at the moment.

Indeed he is! Now if only I had used the phrase 'return path' in the first place!
