VM should have thought about this when they started offering FREE HD and selling channels,They dug the hole now they have to figure a way out of it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Easy:

With VM we give you free HD but for those that want that little bit more we give you XLHD for xxx we will bring you the best in the latest HD channles. Because we believe in better.

On another note I was browsing the CBS Action channel website and wow that seems like a really good channel with some decent shows. I even have a Highlander wishlist and now realise i might be waiting quite sometime to see this show as CBS are broadcasting it.

A bit weird that VM have so many FTA station missing from their line up. I was really toying with getting a dish installed for FTA.

Believe in better (Wouldn't that be stealing a certain companies saying )

Satellite will always have more choice , and will also contain a wider choice of niche channels , granted there's some you'd never watch

My landlord won't let me put up a dish but i suspect that if I do it he wont care as loads of others have had them up for a number of years.

Plus there is nothing wrong with want a service you subscribe to be better, I love my Tivo and would find anything else a step back. Plus I already get to watch all the shows I want in HD even the ones that VM does not carry.
