I'd say they more than make up for some of the missing channels with their On Demand content.

Virgin certainly have a better TV offering than Freeview, Freesat, BT Vision and Top Up TV.

I actually joined SKY last week but then cancelled at the last minute. When I took everything into consideration, nobody can beat Virgin for all round quality. Excellent broadband, excellent VOD and a very good TV service.

But Virgin's Tv lineup still needs fixing, like how can you get Russia Today and Al Jazeera English on Freeview, Freesat, BT Vision and Top Up TV but not Virgin Media?

Not until they sign a deal for Sky Atlantic as most of HBO's content is on there.

You know about the phone hacking scandal:

will BskyB licence to broadcast be removed by ofcom because of they links to News Corp

if that happens who will buy their channels?
