Re: Virgin + HD, my father got the V+, 42" 1080HD plasma connected up using the HDMI cable, and when you flick between the BBC and BBC HD channel, there is no difference in picture quality, so maybe where Virgin states that, because they get so little signal loss on the fibre-optic, there is no need for HD channels.

To be honest there should be a massive difference between hd and normal. The only reason i went hd was i bought a sony Hd 1080 p and the std pic via the aerial because the tv is large was quite poor, Sky std has no real difference in picture, but on hd, its out of this world. Was it on adverts ir something when you compared? Col.
