Is this an email you got then?

His e-mail was that short and he wrote "thx" instead of thanks?

In the announcement he made in December he DIDNT say Q1. he said "next 3 months"

If Virgin months are anything like British rail minutes - then we are in for a long haul wait....

I do not know what to take form it, that there going to be a while before the channels might appear or that they are (at least what there telling us) trying ot get more HD channels. Well i will be goign to SKY HD in the future but not because virign wont carry them but for other reasons still will have full virgin service oh well guess i best get my army gear since my wife will want to kill me for having both he he

Hi All,

I too am fed up with waiting for Virgin to add some decent HD content, especially when my gf gets more HD than me on freesat!! I have had the V+ as long as it has been in my area (originally as TV Drive), and so I also emailed Neil Berkett to find out when I would get more channels as got a very similar response to the previous poster:

Hi

We will be launching half a dozen channels in July

That was it no thanks/thank you - I'll wait and see if it is true, but I'm nopt holding my breath!!!

Freesat only has 2 HD channels so i wouldnt say that is much more if your gf had SKY HD i could see your point but comparing ot Freesat isa bit unfair i say

It was a real email sent from a real VM address. Whether or not it was NB, I can't say.

Haha fair enough, just had to clear that one up lol

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Sadly, l don't believe a word of it, VM have ' conned ' us for months, and we have fallen for it, The channels, they claim are coming, have now increased by two.

It is no good people sending Mr Berkett, an email as his PR will answer it, so you are hitting your head against a brick wall, 'HE' has already said, he has no plans for HD, but plans to expand VOD, now what does that tell you.
