Current debt as of end of march 2011.

3.7x OCF is nothing.
VM also have £8.6bn in assets.
"deep debt" is not a term that can be used to describe it. Hence why in 2 years their shares have rose 5x in value.

Yes you are.

I think you'll find they've spent a shed-load of money on the new TV encryption system.

You also forgot about TiVo and 3D, Also there is as you say is the new encryption system that has allowed the SKY PREMIUM HD channels:erm:

You can get their accounts from the investors section and get the info from them regarding how they fund their day to day activities.

Edit: Sorry, I missed The Don already stating the above
