Plus there is no Red button interactive service even though Virgin Cable have announced this service as being available to it's customers, so why are we still waiting when we pay good money for there business, i've heard we will be receiving this service before April '11, not Summer '10 when it was officially announced as being available.
In my opinion it is such a rip-off & a con just because it's HD, don't get me wrong i love HD but not to pay in this way, i just hope that Virgin Cable have pushed the public's patience & misjudged there perception that everybody will be willing to pay the £7 extra just for HD simulcasts of SD channels they already receive for which they already pay the additional subscription.

Sky Sports HD 1 and 2...and ten Sky Movies HD channels. Pricing was set by Sky. If you don't think it's good value, don't take it - at least VM customers now have a choice.
Personally, I've been surprised by how average Sky's own HD picture quality is - the imported stuff (eg US football) and ESPN HD look superior to my eyes.
