Got it! Agreed, VM are getting far too much stick considering the leaps and bounds in improvements they made last year as well as what is "coming soon", as we say around here.
Many people don't seem to know about or appreciate the effort and expense it took to merge all of those disparate cable franchises, roll out NGTV and Nagra 3, add quite a few HD channels, expand On Demand as well as the big improvements on the broadband side.
The sell off of the VMTV channels may seem like a retrograde step in the short term but it will allow VM to concentrate their funding and resources on their core business and I expect to see the benefits of that in the coming months.
Just now, we are in a state of flux, while we await new deals for content and the full launch of TiVo, to mention just two. Personally, I'm looking forward to another good year with VM.
