Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.

Despite this investment, and against an economic climate where households are having to review their spending on non essential services, Virgin have grown their business thanks in no small part to TiVo, and have posted their first profit, all of which is positive news for the future. If you chose Virgin over Sky to provide your services, then the simple fact is that they're doing it better and more efficiently than when you first asked them to do so, and are in a stronger position to continue that progression than ever before.

And besides, like Carl says, how much TV can anyone actually watch!?
Whilst I agree with your comment Andy, I think some of the growth experienced is due, in part, to the economic climate. How much does it cost a family of four to go to the cinema to see the latest blockbuster? Once you've bought drinks and snacks it's probably the best part of a months subscription for VM or Sky, so if money is tight then you look for the 'best' return available for the money you have.

Cheers
