Virgin Media subscribers have a whole load of new reasons to be happy over the coming months, with Virgin announcing the addition of several new HD channels to its “XL” package. The new channels will start appearing with Eurosport HD in April, followed by a plethora of others from the BBC, Channel 4, ESPN and MTV over the subsequent weeks. This is obviously good news for sports fans as Eurosport currently carries comprehensive coverage of the Tour De France and European Athletics Championship, along with World Superbikes and World Touring Cars championships for those who prefer watching men dressed in leather rather than spandex.

It will also allow Virgin subscribers to enjoy the World Cup in high definition should the BBC decide to simulcast on their HD channel, no doubt further upsetting the nation’s grannies as their Coronation Street is pushed back to 11:30pm.

Quite what the quality of these HD channels will be is anyone’s guess. There is already a clear discrepancy between the signals broadcast by Sky and Freesat, so until Virgin’s arrive it will remain to be seen if these extra options will be worth switching providers for. However, if Virgin Media can successfully twin HD channels with their excellent range of On Demand services then their competitors will have to work jolly hard come renewal time.
If you haven’t yet joined the HD revolution then this is yet another good reason to pull your finger out. Fortunately, despite the end of the January sales there are still a plethora of cheap Samsung TVs and cheap LG TVs available, just make sure you read our previous blog on the different types of High Definition first (Confusion - Now in HD) to ensure you’re able to make an informed choice.

LG Finances In Rude Health

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Despite the hardships being faced by many, home electronics giant LG and its employees will be having a good Christmas this year as they have seen sales figures rocket in the first three quarters of 2009. The company saw profits of $684 million over this period, powered jointly by an increase in demand and a recovery in the falling prices of LCD screens. LG is the second largest manufacturer of flat screen televisions and monitors in the world, but the figures also includes a substantial equity methods gain from subsidiaries and partners from around the world.

2009 has been an excellent year for both sides of the counter in fact, with massive reductions on cheap LG TVs at the beginning of the year to help shed stock amid the recession, followed by discounts right across the board to try and attract new customers as the first green shoots of recovery started to appear. The technology has also matured significantly, allowing for increasingly cheaper entry level models, leading to cheap LCD TVs becoming available at higher price points as well.

Whether these sales figures can be maintained in to 2010 will remain to be seen, but with recovery across most of the world gathering pace and with strong product diversification allowing them to cover several markets, you would be a fool to bet against them.
