Not the programmes I watch, old chap.

Hopefully, VM are now starting to aim higher. I have been drawing attention to the deteriorating quality of pay tv programmes and the vastly sperior offerings of Netflix and Amazon for some time.

Clearly, Virgin Media are responding to the challenge, and good on them for that. Unless they do something now, people will opt for streaming and ignore the cable offering.

Virgin need to be cognisant of that, improve the quality of their pay tv channels and increase the number of apps on their service.

They cannot afford to fall behind.

I do like the shows I mentioned yes. Would you be happy if channels that had the programming you enjoy were removed??
I am all for Virgin having a comprehensive choice of programming, of course. But not at any price. UKTV are just rip-off merchants.

Also, I would say that most people taking out a pay tv subscription for the first time expect to get rather more than endless repeats of old programmes they have seen before. They can get those already on BBC1 in summer time!

We all deserve better.
