It is afterall on freeview!

I don't think they would be allowed to.

You can guarantee that if sky pulled the plug over the weekend, talking extreme now ;) on monday would NTL tv customers just get onto sky for their tv services? for all the anti sky talk I bet there are people here who would ;)
it'd never happen as it'd be referred to the competition commission re sky's ownership of the channel and the platform being used to assert an act of unfair competition or something like that!

I think Virgin would look very silly if customers on the VIP pack like myself suddenly found themselves without Sky Movies and Sports channels one morning.

Sky would also look very silly explaining to advertisers why 3.3 million Cable TV viewers are no longer seeing their adverts on all Sky channels. :p:

actually the more I think about it the more I think SKY would be shooting themselves in the foot as the channels they offer wouldnt be missed that much anyway. if you remember a few years back ITV wouldn't allow their channel on the sky platform and we just accepted they were being pathetic and ignored it - then as soon as 'ITV digital' went down the pan they allowed their channel to be on sky boxes.

There's also the footy on the (much cheaper) Setanta Sports for next season. If Sky did remove their channels, they risk Cable TV footy fans like myself not coming back to Sky Sports when they made it available again.

New top package which gives you the top broadband, phone and TV packages plus the TV Drive and extra STB for around £85 if memory serves. £37 a month discount off the normal prices for those packages I think it works out at..

Why haven't they put the VIP pack on the ntl website yet?

Seeing as Virgin Media are trying to push quad-play I would have thought you would get Virgin Mobile in that pack as well.

Maybe there will be a 'Super VIP' pack which will include that.
