HD programmes have gradually been removed from the V+ & VHD. At first VM blamed the BBC for it (shades of blaming them for iplayer buffering when it was VM's network capacity all along !). However they have now admitted on their forum that it's a deliberate policy to remove the HD programmes. They say its to increase the amount of SD content but sounds to me like they are trying push everyone onto TiVo. Problem is iplayer on Tivo is flawed and will get worse if everyone does switch.

What annoys me is the underhand way they've done it, gradually, hoping no one will notice. No announcement to customers about this downgrade of service and no consultation with them , plus of course the initial lies about why its happening.
