I find it a great big con, when the TV providers state "bazillions of channels" and then you realise that most of them are standard, then the same channel in HD, and then the same one +1. This must account for neatly 50% of the channels advertised. How many different channels do we actually get? I'm sure it's not that many. And of him, I'd say 75% are actually rubbish, and I would dream of watching them.

I have to say I really do find VM really poor. And as for the On Demand (or lack of it) offered to customers! Well don't get me started.
I know,and John Malone was giving us the distinct impression that he was going to provide us with maximum content without necessarily owning that content. That doesn't seem to have gone too well to date and one can only hope that this man has a big plan and he doesn't wait until half of his TV subscribers have left Virgin Media.

2016 needs to be designated the year of TV content for VM, whether it's through the provision of new conventional linear broadcast channels or streaming, I don't care.

It would be such a shame if VM missed the opportunity to be the kings of content.
