I was thinking of buying shares in SKY, it would only take me a million plus years to make a takeover bid, then we all could have SKY's HD channels :D

At least if it took you a million years to mount a takeover bid, At least your descendants would not need to worry about anything.:D

All we ever hear is VM are in 'talks' of new channels coming, they have so many talks, do they ever come out of the boardroom or the local cafe.

In the City of London, they normally have talks down the pub, by closing time the deal is done, with VM the doors are locked, come on VM move your butt.

All the basic sky HD channels were part of the deal, so vm does have access to them if it wants them. The fact they have not appeared means vm doesn't want to pay for them at the moment. The same goes for pretty much all other channels except Sky Atlantic and the missing Sky HD sports and film channels.

It's good to talk, as BT's adverts used to say, but money speaks louder than words. If vm want whatever channel on their platform, they have to pay for it. That's the reason, the only reason, why channels are missing.

I cannot never understand why VM won't put on more channels, as in the end its US that pays for them.

And if VM are worried about customers going to rivals, l cannot see that when l read comments on this forum - it should be our choice.

In the end it's the customers that pay for them

Clearly you never threatened to leave sky that`s why you was charged,Myself and many friends and family have all got boxes fixed/replaced at no charge !!!!!!

Not everyone likes that sort of confrontation though, with VM it's easy, they fix it/replace it for free, no bother :)
