HD service with Virgin

Anyone got any idea when they will start to roll out some HD channels?

Have they indicated whether they will charge extra for them?

It isn't going to happen.
Well, at least not for a good while.
Virgin are happy showing 100 channels of rubbish, as opposed to a couple of HD channels.

It's all about the available bandwidth and VM has none left
