The press release states: "we added 222,100 HD customers to reach an installed base of 1.42m".

I assume this means Virgin have 1.42 million customers who have either a V HD Box or a V+ HD Box? 222,100 new HD customers in a quarter is pretty impressive. We are becoming a very hungry HD nation. For me 52,000 subscribers of SKY Premium HD out of 1.42 million HD customers is not an impressive return so far.

Also to say Virgin didn't advertise SKY Premium HD when it arrived 2 months ago simply isn't true. Adverts were run in the national tabloids, some of them a full page if I remember correctly. I know a leaflet campaign took place in my area as my brother and my father-in-law subscribed on the back of receiving them.
