Agreed but as staff have said we must pay more for content, I totally agree with that and await April with excitement.

I have been a VM customer for as long as I can remember, Telewest before that, first adopter for the V+ service many years ago now. Anyway the amount of channels that I would regard as quality viewing are on the decline, I don't page down much now till I am at the shopping channels, also as far as I'm concerned when we have a channel and then the same channel +1 and then the same channel in HD that is one channel and not three, convenient yes but still one channel.
I also think we are a few years into this and we still have limited HD channels so that I can't regularly utilise my 1080P TV and projector. As a previous poster said TiVo might be great but not so if we can only watch "Freeview" channels and Terrestrial. I personally would love to see... Boardwalk Empire, Blue Bloods, Mad Men, Game of Thrones. Also where can I see Sons Of Anarchy, Leverage, Spartacus? that’s all I can remember but sure I used to watch more.
Anyway, a VM letter drops through the door today telling me about price rises to my services. Cheek if you ask me.
To try and finish on a positive, loyalty is high on my personality profile. I think the V+ service is great. Some of the VOD content and catch up etc is good. I want to stay with VM but I’m finding it difficult to justify at the moment.

Let's wait and see what we get for the extra money in April, not months later.

It would be impossible for ITV/BBC to do it just now until both are fully regionalised. A new satellite is coming online that should help with that problem but whether they wish to go to the expense of extra transponder space is anyones guess.
