But as it stands now Virgin have lost another point on the channel launches scale.
Maybe the rumours are true. They simply dont give a crap about Digital Tv anymore and are concentrating just on broadband. I mean Virgin Media has the best broadband on the planet yet they dont have the best Tv. Shows they are more interested in internet.

To be fair to virgin Media they have invested huge amounts of money in the tv side of things,they have upgraded the infrastructure so everybody is now on the same tv system (from the fragmented system they inherited),TiVo is on its way we now have many more HD channels then 18 months ago,and Red Button is on its way to sky sports on vm hardly what i would call "dont give a cr-p" the upgrades made including new encryption are examples of a investment in the tv side of things.
Virgin medias "hero product" is the broadband but i find the tv side of things carries most of the good channels,in fact they carry all the sky sports channels unlike BT and Top up TV (and ESPN included in XL TV),in my book they have invested heavily in tv,even if they do not have everybodys personal favourite TV channel for now.
