To me virgins debt is substantial,now i am well pleased with the tv service it carries all the channels i require now so i am in no way being critical of vm at all,just putting or trying to put a rational argument as to why vm perhaps cannot afford to add new channels as fast as people may like. 
To me vm HAVE invested in tv substantially in the past 18 months more HD,sky sports Red Button,upgrading the headends ect,the pace in future may slow a little. |
Sky Arts HD has nothing to do with any money issues. That channel was part of the deal done with Sky last year. It may have taken a while to appear on the tv platform but the deal was done ages ago.
Carriage rights and contracts can take a long time to agree. So new channels could be coming and VM could have been talking to other parties for a long time for all we know.
VM isn't really that in debt. A lot of companies are operating in debt these days.
