Re: How happy are you with Virgin's TV service

With only 75,000 of nearly 4 million TV customers wanting Tivo, I would call that modest interest but it isn't stopping Virgin going full steam ahead with it.

As Denphone says, customers want more channels (be they Atlantic, Sky Sports in HD or ITV HD channels) and VM are not responding - result, people going to Sky, who, love them or hate them, actually provde channels for the 'minority wishes'.
installed to date and rising... adding more channels is a seperate issue to wanting/getting TiVo though.

It would be wrong of VM to concentrate on adding niche channels, Sky (Satellite) has a bigger coverage and therefore bigger user base, so it can carry them.

I respect your view and request for Sky Atlantic BTW, i'm just giving you some reasons/economics about getting it.
