Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

You guys moaning at the annoucement of Living HD, its one of the most watched channel in the collection of VM channels so that will be why they are going to be releasing a HD version of it.

You don't need viewing figures for a HD channel though.

The only reason viewing figures are important are for ad revenue, HD channels don't generate more ad revenue, people without the HD version will just watch the SD one, so you don't gain any audience to generate any extra revenue from offering a HD version (the people who won't watch SD are VERY rare, so are pretty insignificant).

There's a huge difference between an HD simulcast of a channel and a completely different channel, sky proved with the sky basics debacle that they need to offer their channels on VM, but they know they don't need to offer their HD varients because it brings them zero extra ad revenue, people just watch the SD ones instead.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

I had this pink elephant fly past my last night with VM HD channels written on it, that how much faith l have in VM when they promise HD, everyone wants them on VM, but all we get is a load of lies, this was 'promised' to us before Xmas, When l believe in pink elephants, then l will believe in HD on VM.

It was never promised before christmas. All they said was that they will have some channels by end of 1st Quarter.

There is no Virgin 1 HD and on a V Box you can't get HD.
