All that list says is that those are the channels that VM would like to get before 2011, I am quite sure that would be obvious to anyone that VM would like all available HD channels to be on their platform.

I read it said "go and get this list" which is not quite the same as "like to get".

Before we talk of more HD, I would like to see some of our existing channels go widescreen, Comedy Central shows quite a few new shows now and operates in 4:3 as do some of the Discovery ones, surely all channels should be in 16:9 now.

SKY1HD would be great, Modern Family and 24 in HD would love it.

broadcasting in widescreen is nothing to do with VM its to do with the Broacasting company that owns/runs the channels. its only VM`s resopnsibility to sign them and make sure they get shown to custimers.

Go get it - like to get - hope to get - maybe get it. They are all the same thing, they don't have it and would like to.

It's all very interesting, if all suggested HD channels were delivered by VM then I would drop my sky subs like a rock (I'm out of contract but only keep it for the HD channels) and keep VM TV/BB & Telephone.

I know this but some channels are so far behind the times.

Great Stuff!

Exclusive on Virgin, Sky wont be happy about that.

why is everything being toted as summer, this when the analog is finally off

nialli · 08-03-2010, 08:31

It would be good to have a date rather than a season...mind you, judging from last summer it normally is just a single day anyway, albeit nobody knows which particular day summer will fall on in advance!
