As far as I can see there are 11 channels which 4 of them are in HD (we have 2022). All of them are rubbish and exists only to broadcast ads.
And when virgin says HD, I believe they still only mean 720P ?
A bunch of second rate channels, most of them not in HD. They would make their customres happier if they scrapped the price hike.
Most people own TVs are atleast 1080 full HD, although most folk I know have 4K and smart, why are so many channels of freeview and satellite still standard definition 480?
It’s like we’re stuck with ancient CRT standard and no body can see the difference, like they’re blind. Why don’t they just scrap all the rubbish channels and reduce them to efficiency use the bandwidth with full HD good channels, that people would actually watch, no wonder Netflix is doing so well… the human greed is getting the better of us.
