If the SD versions were in the L pack, then yeah maybe I could see people not that happy, but they aren't, you have to have XL to get them, so ofc you're going to need XL to get the HD versions.

I dont mind but people aren't going to be happy as they have the V+ for HD but will not get any channels without upgrading, I know there not but people will complain thats all I was saying, I dont mind I have XL TV.

No, those not on the XL package have the V+ for the PVR function with the boxes 3 tuners

So did the people on the XL and they still complained about not having HD.

VMTV are in talks with Sky about Living HD being on Sky. I wonder if Sky HD channels coming to VM are being talked about too?

My predictions that I made after seeing there plans for the future are coming true. This one cost them 10mil. Upgrades and expansions were the other plans and also internet on the v+ boxes with a free keyboard should be coming.

Why on earth would that be coming? The EPG struggles as it is, without trying to do the internet!

What happened to the old TV Internet service? I have also noticed that I can get TV email but someone who has only recently joined Virgin cannot.

The TV internet got stopped several years ago - because no sites would work with the STB's browers anymore (too complicated)

The TV E-mail was withdrawn last year
