If you think otherwise you're deluded
So.....from 1 to 26 HD channels; All VOD services from terrestrial broadcasters (the only platform who can make that claim); Sky 1 HD; Sky Sports HD; Sky Red Button; Sky VOD content; World-class PVR exclusive UK rollout; TiVo STB unification over the next few years; Film 4 HD exclusive; TV network unification; Analogue switch-off completion; NGTV rollout completion; Network/TV service availability expansion and 80 HD channels within the next 3 years is 'no hint of improvement' and anyone who thinks otherwise is 'deluded'?



OK, sure.

People need to get some perspective here - Sky's marketing budget is more than what ITV spends on making programmes.

And people really think that Virgin can seriously take on Sky for Pay TV content? Seriously? Its a war that Virgin can't win, against a competitor with deep pockets and almost 100% potential customer coverage of the UK compared to Virgin's....what, 53%?

Virgin are right to focus on delivering content. Loads of cable companies worldwide do that and many of them are doing just fine.
