There should be over 60 HD channels by the time the Olympics start.

This isn't aimed at you bud.
Still to this day I don’t know why people hang on to this quote as some sort of guarantee from Virgin that 80 HD channels will be delivered within 3 years. There is nothing in the quote which says “We will deliver 80 HD channels” or “We plan to have 80 HD channels”. The quote simply suggests they have a path to grow to 80 HD channels, and nothing more than that. I don’t see that as any kind or promise, pledge or solid commitment.
If people are taking that as some for of guarantee, they better be ready to be disappointed. I don't think there will even be 80 HD channels broadcasting by December 2013.
