Virgin clearly don't have a clue what they're doing!

<sarcasm>

Virgin are a disgrace! Been waiting eons for more HD and when we get it, we only go from 1 to 16 HD channels in around a year! Disgraceful!

Their too slow at adding channels too! They only launched Five HD mere hours before Sky! WTF!!??! If Virgin knew what they were doing, Five HD would have launched a good 6 months eariler!

Heard of Sky Sports 5 HD? Neither have Sky but if they get it before Virgin I swear, I'm soooooooooo gonna cancel!

Forget Good Food HD, where the frack is Good Food HD Smell-o-Vision? I want to feel as if I'm devouring the food as I'm watching my HD telly but nnnnoooooooo!

Sky will get that too! My HD telly will continue to starve on Virgin's HD-light diet. Extra-Large package?!?? Yeah right!

Why Virgin can't get Sky to launch all of their own channels on Digital Cable first is just a

move from Virgin! They clearly don't have a clue and wouldn't know fibre optic cable if it was shoved up their nose! They should have demanded complete control of Sky and their leased satellites too before even meeting them to talk about selling VMTV. Should have kept that too, fools! I bet Virgin brought lunch for that meeting too:

Sky: Damn! We forgot our wallets again! Mind buying us lunch?
Virgin: Sure thing, Pizza again!
Sky: Yum, thanks. We enjoy GOOD FOOD, especially in HD.
Virgin: What was that?
Sky: Nothing.....don't forget the extra mushrooms this time.

In short, Virgin are

and clearly should stop embarrassing themselves. Let me run the company or better yet, Sky, because Virgin don't believe in better!

Well you can always call up and disconnect and go with SKY but remember after 12 months all tech callouts are down to you.

And we all know that the contracts are public knowledge..

This could become the 'Coming Soon Bitch Thread' that we've sorely needed for a few months now.

When are Virgin going to add SKY Sports News HD, those incompetent fools?

Where is my TIVO?

How dare Virgin launch a 3D service first

And many other coming soon related bitchiness

Sorry to hijack with such BS. Funny initial post by the HDfootydude though

Am I allowed to use the clap thingy in this thread or will someone tell me off?

Feel free to use this as a bitch thread. I get the feeling sometimes that if VM announced that their Engineers could walk on water to make customer appointments, the response from some people would be:

AWWWWW poor baby, you don't have enough HD channels, i'm sure you'll survive, i for one have an HD tv but don't give a flying [Mod edit: Please don't swear] about watching HD channels as most of the tv i watch are sitcoms, don't really think HD is going to make my viewing any better.
If you don't like Virgin then go crawl to Sky.
Hmmm wonder why Sky would get a Sky sports 5 before virgin, perhaps the name SKY might ring a few bells there.
what a doughnut

He's taking the pee out of a number of posters on the coming soon thread who always seem to have a go at VM whatever they do.

No, not really.

The idea was to make it obvious that I was being sarcastic. Which you missed. Along with the at the end of my original post.

It's not always easy to pick up on sarcasm on a site which is known for the ranting and raving from truly put upon VM customers to those who'd rant if VM gave them everything they wanted straight away up front for not being fast enough.

Me I'd let someone get everything off their chest and then ask if I could help.

After all sometimes all people need is someone to listen..
