See MM's post any comments? Really wish you would knock off the condescending tone in many of your posts.

Yes. Sky announce things and they happen. VM announce things and they happen. Some things just take longer than expected. Big whoop. Some of us aren't hanging on every word taking it as gospel. Things will happen then they happen

No the point is Virgin have announced very little in the past year by way of new channels or increased HD and in fairness they've delivered it.
Big Whoop??? Really? Really? Really?

So they've announced nothing and delivered it. Isn't that good?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
So to summarise ,
Virginmedia promise nothing and deliver nothing.
Sky promise new services/channels and deliver new services/channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
Not at all. Erm... Tivo? Announced and delivered on time.
I think the broadband speed upgrades are on-schedule as far as anyone knows.
The problem is that, sometimes, things get announced and then delayed for whatever reason. Which then gives the Sky fan-boys and VM haters more to complain about.
So which is better? Announced then delayed or only announced on launch? Not sure myself

I really don't understand why this is such an issue, if your happy with the service you have Sky/Virgin stick with it, if not switch.
Both have good and bad points, personally I am happy with the service I have from Virgin, if more channels are added result.

Keep this thread on-topic or I'll be dishing out the infractions.

Not read this for ages and going through 68 pages will take too long so sorry if already asked.
Are there any rumours about getting SS3 and 4 and News in HD anytime soon? Not fussed if it isn't for a few months/years, just be nice to know SKY will let Virgin have all the Sports channels in HD as well.

Mark l am afraid l don't think we will be getting the above named channels anytime soon in HD because as stated in previous posts this is due to Sky deliberately with-holding these channels from other suppliers but alas l am sure if we wait another ten years then those toothless buggers at Ofcom might actually then decide to do something about it.

I don't think so, no. This was MediaBoy's most recent update.

In the past year we've had more channels, more hd and +1 variants, increased on demand programming, including the minor coup that is Sky Anytime, as well as a promise of increased broadband speeds and network investment to support that promise and future proof provision of television services. Despite this investment, and against an economic climate where households are having to review their spending on non essential services, Virgin have grown their business thanks in no small part to TiVo, and have posted their first profit, all of which is positive news for the future. If you chose Virgin over Sky to provide your services, then the simple fact is that they're doing it better and more efficiently than when you first asked them to do so, and are in a stronger position to continue that progression than ever before.
And besides, like Carl says, how much TV can anyone actually watch!?
