Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Just seen an advert for Sky Sports HD.

How can they claim "Barclays premire league Exclusive in HD"? Surely the fact that ESPN are showing some in HD makes that statement wrong?

I suppose it coupld be argued that the matches THEY are showing are exclusive to THEM. If that is what they are saying then I think the advertising is significantly misleading.

I remember the Harry Enfield series of adverts but I'm strangely having difficulty remembering Sir Richard. Maybe vaguely.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'finally got his hands on Mercury' as the consumer division of Cable & Wireless was sold on by NTL to NPower and is still in operation. The VM telephony service may run on legacy Cable & Wireless exchanges and infrastructure backbone but I don't think that is really the Mercury side of the business that we knew.

See Mercury Communications for a brief history.

All seems to have gone a bit quiet on the Living HD, History HD and Eurosport HD front. Come on VM lets keep the momentum going!

They were testing a while ago and Media Boy had them on his list but was told to remove them.

Is it Christmas already? I don't think I've seen many toy or game adverts yet. They usually start as soon as the kids go back to school if not before.

Game adverts are on all year round, because, you know, it isn't just kids who buy them.

Well, I wasn't just talking about people my age either, but people older and even your age still play games. And games for younger ones are advertised all year round too.
