I am the first to have a go at any big company but if we think about what we have got in the last 12 months it must be around 20 HD channels, 100mb broadband is rolling out and of course increased upload speeds too. Some 3D content is now available with a bit included for XL customers and very soon the Tivo box which although it dosen't appeal to me personally is very exciting for a lot of people. Also red button is on it's way too so there's quite a lot going. And the NGTV upgrades must have been a massive undertaking, huge in fact. And they have changed to a totally new encryption system to stop the tea leaves so they have been pretty busy and they need to with such strong competition from you know who and other existing and upcoming alternatives.
On the downside there dosen't appear much going on regarding new HD channels at the moment but we get them (non premium) at no extra cost so they can't just add them willy nilly like a certain provider. However it's now high time Sky Arts HD made an appearance purely because VM have said it is launching, around 6 months ago. A delay for a brand new application like red button is totally understandable but why this channel is taking so long is anyone's guess.
However I have read that Sky are creating Sky LivingIt HD which to me just seems like creating a HD channel for creation's sake.
