Virgin Media's TV base increased by 14,800 in the third quarter to 3.77m customers.
More than half use Virgin's video-on-demand service.

The company has increased its portfolio of high-definition channels from one to 28 in a year, including the addition of Sky Sports and Sky Movies, with 222,100 new customers taking the HD offering in the quarter.
Overall Virgin Media has 1.4m subscribers to HD, a 38% year-on-year increase.

The company also added more than 100,000 customers taking its Sky premium suite of channels, taking the total to 725,000, including 52,000 who have signed up to Sky Sports HD and, or, Sky Movies HD since launching the channels in August.

Can't work out if

• 725,000 out of a possible out of 3.77 million sub subscribe to Sports/Movies (about 20%ish of all subscribers)
• 52,000 out of a possible 1.4 million for Sky Sports/Movies HD (about 4% of HD subscribers)

are good figures.
