VM always said they would launch more HD channels when the time was right, which is exactly what they did.
Despite what you may think from reading forums like this, people simply weren't watching HD then. Take a look at the BBC HD figure in
Sept 2008. Compare with the likes of Dance Nation and Horse&Country.
Even
now, the HD simulcasts only get about a quarter the viewers of their SD equivalent. (Far less in the case of BBC1 and ITV1).
