When I had Sky analogue, signal wasn't brilliant unless the weather was. Is Sky digital just as bad?

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.

If my voting in the poll offends you that much ask a mod to remove it. It's only an internet discussion after all. :dozey: :rolleyes:

As for a surveys - I've been asked about brands changing their image or altering themselves in some way when I never buy the product - that's the idea of surveys/polls - to get peoples opinions.

Your voting in the poll doesn't offend me and i think you saying that is a bit childish, i was only stating that my own personal opinion is people who are with Sky and not NTL, who vote, distort the poll.

Sky gets better deal for Flextech channels



Info from The Airwaves

On the day Virgin Media launches it has emerged that Sky has hammered down the amount it pays for the Flextech channels as relations between the two continue to deteriorate.

It is understood that Flextech will only get around 10p/Sky subscriber under the new deal instead of the current 40p/subscriber resulting in Flextech loosing more than £25 million per year in revenue.

According to broadcastnow.co.uk, Sky said it was only prepared to pay for Living TV and Flexztech is understood to be considering its options which could include Trouble and Bravo being rolled into its free-to-air FTN channel on satellite but is unlikely to merge Challenge due to the money Flextech gets from interactive streams.

Negotiations between the two continue over the basic Sky channels with Sky threatining to pull its channels off cable if a deal cannot be agreed. However, Virgin has said that it wants a better deal for the premium Sky channels Sky Sports and Sky Movies saying that it overcharges customers for these services. Cable would manage without Sky Movies due to it offering hundereds of films on-demand but Sky Sports is a different proposition.
