Their refusal to listen to their customers wishes and even attempt to accommodate them is frustrating. Especially when they come out with crap like "It isn't possible to..." or "We currently have no plans to..." even though the same company only a few hundred miles away is doing exactly what British customers are asking for!

This old article explains some of it -
"But we'll continue to develop. This is the start, but if the technology move on and [if] the rights holders get comfortable and want to move into HD then we'll be there."
