Again, as per my earlier post, they wouldn't want to advertise something like Living HD exclusivity if they intend to offer it to Sky in exchange for some Sky channels, HD or otherwise, quite soon.
Anyway, we wouldn't want VM to lower their advertising standards to that of Sky, now would we?

Just following certain programmes such as 'Cold Case', Sky 1, 2 and 3 are time-shift channels already with a day or so of shift.

As opposed to 21:00 in the AM? Pick a system and stick to it!  
Just kidding!

That is the full time result I think that is the match of the season (In the UK).
But I was happy to see that match in SD and not HD.

My mate in work is a Well fan, I am an everton fan, do you guys want to keep Ruddy and Jutkiewicz? i'd say they are surplus to requirements here, Ruddy is an excellent stopper.

Okay, I know I stretch the 'Coming Soon ...' a bit to respond to off-topic postings but could the footie fans please find a room somewhere in neutral territory and have it out off-forum?

New Cable Technology Passes Tests
Not coming soon, but coming in the next five years or so for sure:
The new cable transmission standard DVB-C2 has passed its tests. VM currently uses DVB-C technology, but this new standard will allow VM to utilise their bandwidth even more efficiently in the future for more HD, VOD, faster broadband etc

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
An increase of 60% that is impressive. But I guess they will need all new boxes for this.
And in the old C&W/NTL days five years was was quite quick for coming soon.
