Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

OK, I think that decides it! NEVERRRR!!!;):dunce::D

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

I believe it's only premium channels they HAVE to let them have :)

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

I have no idea about the rights or wrongs of Sky pulling the the plug. Sky needs the money from cable companies; viewers may leave Virgin Media's television service but Sky is not necessarily the alternative supplier. Many would stick with Virgin Media for their telephone and broadband services and would either opt for Freeview or the their analogue service, soon to be digital tv. I object to the idea of paying BT for a telephone line rental and paying another company for the calls. I have got so used to having one bill for telephone, broadband and digital tv the same as I have got used to paying one bill for gas and electricity. Let's wait and see. :angel:

Staying with Virgin Media. Don't want a dish put up outside. Hardly watch Sky channels anyway...

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

And i would be prepared to take bets that a couple of the people who have voted to switch, already have Sky.

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

Can't get Virgin Media, stupid idea to run cables everywhere in my opinion. Sky automatically wins my vote just because they service a wider area, and my area for that matter.

Until Virgin Media can think of a better idea to get more customers, they cannot support as many customers as Sky.

Boohoo!!! And I want my staff discount!!!!!

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

Yep - but does that make my opinion invalid?

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

Of course it doesn't make your opinion invalid. But it does make your vote invalid. The poll is about leaving or staying. If you arn't with NTL you can't leave or stay. That's like giving 100 Sky Customers this Poll saying now vote, then saying 100% of people will leave NTL.

Of course no one will stop you from making a vote on here, but that just means the figures even though are in NTLs favour on this vote, in reality are even more strongly in NTLs favour.

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

I am quite capable of putting myself in the position that is posed in the poll.

Many surveys ask you questions about hypothetical situations - I see this no differently. If I was in the position of having Ntl and being happy, then Sky pulled their channels I'd switch. No different to if I was currently was in the position.

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

go to DIGITAL SPY . YOU WILL SEE THERE SKY TV ANS BANNED IT SAY YOU ONLY GET DIGITAL IS SKY,

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

ANY NEED TO SHOUT?

And what?:confused:

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

You wouldn't get asked about a hypothetical poll in this situation. And if you were asked by a surveyor, if you said you you were currently with Sky, they wouldn't carry on asking you questions.

I can't argue with you about whether you can or can't, you quite obviously can, the figures just won't show a true representation of the people who will be leaving (if such a small poll could be seen as being representitive).

Sky ought to worry though, if they remove Sky channels from NTL, i'm going to leave Sky and sign up with NTL ;)

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

Very good, but I'm stopping with Virgin Media 4 the time being. I want to see if Richard and gang live up to their promise. they say it's going to be brill! Watch this space!

Re: SKY VS Virgin Media
 

I have a V+HD cable receiver & Sky HD thomson receiver i find that the pic qulity on SD channels and BBC HD is much better on the Sky HD satellite receiver than via cable,
