Thanks

BBC HD will be 9hrs a day from April (promised by the head of BBC HD).

The other stuff about HD channels is wild speculation. It is very likely ITV HD and C4HD will be on cable sometime in 2009. This is because they will both make their way onto all other major platforms (freesat and freeview) in 2009. If you want to check out any of the above both ITV and C4's submission to ofcom is available on their consulations part of their website. ITV plans to run a 5hr prime time service with other things going on the rest of the day and C4HD a 24hr affair. C4HD has upped their HD content recently. As more hours are added it is even more likely viewers will lust after these. Of course it is entirely possible VM will not add these, leaving us in the dark behind both freeview and freesat.

The speculation elsewhere about the 15 HD channels coming to VM is fairytale imho. There just isn't the bandwidth for this until analogue is switched off/reclaimed. Why Sky would want to give them to virgin media having already signed a deal for what it wants - basics on VM to get ad revenue is not explained.

The V+ upscales very well. Hope you are happy with it.
