Now would they do that to us again? ;)

Don't forget SKY Sports is due for a £3.25 (or £3.75) price increase on VM come October which will then make it £36.00 a month including HD compared with about £27.25 on SKY.

In order to keep people subscribing to SKY Sports on VM, I wouldn't be surprised to see SKY drop the premium HD charge in the coming months as otherwise people are just going to drop it and SKY need the subscribers and advertising revenue to fight back against BT Sports.

I'm sure that the LG CEO said that those issues had been fixed (but I guess he would say that :erm:).

I can see why that could happen, but I think the last thing Digital Cable in the UK needs right now (or anytime soon) is another rebrand.

NTL >>> NTL-Telewest >>>> VM >>>> UPC?

I'd rather they spend the 'rebranding' cash on improving services - more channels, more content (yeah, I'm a greedy bugger!), maybe even getting more channels working with MRS and perhaps even getting the Android version of TVA out.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some dishes to wash, then, FREE HD EPL FOOTY to watch, MUHAHAHAHA! :D

Cheers Chad. That is a great comparison. The only things Sky have now are HD and Atlantic, which to be fair, are what many people want currently.

Better then paying a extra £12 to £15 though.:D

Sky have to be very careful in these coming months with price rises because the goose that has laid that golden egg for many many years might start laying ones which are the equivalent to fools gold.

Or are you back to the drinking again.
