Re: Do Virgin customers want more HD channels
IMHO only certain content warrants HD at the moment.

Re: Do Virgin customers want more HD channels
Really cannot fathom why anyone would say no, unless they were blindly defending their inactive masters 
Can we have a guess on who voted no?

I said no because on my 32" because SD is good enough for me, if I had a 46" I may change my mind.

Re: Do Virgin customers want more HD channels
You don't need a poll. Most customers don't want HD, but a significant minority do.

Well its a very significant minority then with nearly 40% of Sky's and Virgin having HD enabled boxes and double that percentage with HD TV's plus the increasing amount of Freeview HD boxes being sold as well.

I would have thought that as it is VM policy to hold on to their high value customers that HD would have been a priority to hold on to these customers.

Re: Do Virgin customers want more HD channels
Shouldn't the question be "Are Virgin customers willing to pay more for extra HD channels"?

But we are talking about Virgin customers - why bring in Sky?
btw, can I ask where you got your stats from, please?

Because you don't have an HD STB?
"HD-ready TV sets are now in six in ten UK homes, with a third of homes receiving HDTV channels"
