Virgin need to look at their HD Genres and see what's lacking Kids defo is with no HD channels and Documentary only has two.

I'm sorry if some people on here don't like this but it needs to be said.
The main gripes on this forum are
1. Virgin take ages to launch channels.
2. Virgin are way behind Sky on HD channels.
3. TIVO is way overpriced and should be cheaper.
My answers to these are as follows
1. With the HD free on XL policy Virgin negotiations take longer as they strive to get the cheapest price for you the customer.
2. The main reason Sky have more HD content is the fact half of the content is there own and the rest they recoup in the £10.25 a month HD charge. The facts are with VM XL you pay £23.50 and get ESPN , Sky charge £24.00 for 6 mix and £10.25 if you want HD pack and ESPN is a further £12.00 if you don't have Sky Sports.
3. People say TIVO is expensive at launch but the truth is the box has a 1 TB HDD and is new technology , don't forget the Sky HD 1 TB box is £299 I believe. People will say you can keep the Sky box which is a valid point but with no Sky sub this just becomes an expensive freesar receiver.
