But many customers also appreciate the flexibility of TV on demand, so we focus on both<br /><br />So that's not a denial.<br /><br />If you actually know more details (like what "testing" means exactly, what channels are involved etc) or links then post them, that would be interesting. Not everybody reads every blog/twit/forum/etc, let us know what you're talking about!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-23921463010292199812009-05-03T15:50:00.000+01:002009-05-03T15:50:00.000+01:00go on virgin media twitter thngo on virgin media twitter thnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-56656863295730562692009-05-03T12:04:00.000+01:002009-05-03T12:04:00.000+01:00"7 hd channels are testing acording to some blogs"..."7 hd channels are testing acording to some blogs"<br /><br />Then how about some details or a link? :)<br /><br />Nothing anywhere obvious on my box and can't see anything other than repeated rumours in a quick google search.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-10915295161552870082009-05-03T11:20:00.000+01:002009-05-03T11:20:00.000+01:007 hd channels are testing acording to some blogs7 hd channels are testing acording to some blogsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-60193697184438616972009-05-02T11:20:00.000+01:002009-05-02T11:20:00.000+01:00Have to say the PQ is pretty good.

Considering VM have an 'Executive Director...*sigh*<br /><br />Considering VM have an 'Executive Director of Content Acquisition' (and thus a Director and numerous assistants) to announce this 'new move' for a few programs, which bearing in mind as good as iPlayer is, it is a system that allows repeats at a time of your choosing, just doesn't work with this notion Katherine has of commitment to customers.<br /><br />Are Sky a pain and holding things back? I'm sure (where is this blasted OfCom report??)<br />But still, VM execs clearly show that they believe what they believe, and customers who complain are just wrong and have no voice.<br /><br />Also, with their latest advert it appears that they just keep going on about the internet, when really you cannot revolutionise the internet like you can TV signals.<br /><br />Gosh...what a blurb, but it appears I'm tired of the "next few months" quotes (used in this press release, <I>again</I>) too.<br /><br />I'm not going to sky, at all, I'm just bored of lack of customer focus from VM.leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762100701796787636noreply@blogger.com
