The biggest issue, concerning any prospective sale of VM channels, to Sky for £600. million is NOT the pay TV market, it is for the consumer, you and me, for a long time now, we have had the issue of where, VM took off the bonus package of Sky, which affected everyone, especially myself, l much prefer Sky News, to BBC24, which is totally crap, the issue of SSNews, which we also lost, this will benefit the customer, please remember, we have customers in flats that cannot have dishes, we also have places that cannot have dishes, due to landlords, that don't want ugly dishes on the walls, we have a block of flat in West London, that is riddled with dishes, which makes the block unsightley, NO it is not the residents fault, they want television, from whatever source they get it, It has been widely known, that VM want to expand the broadband service they provide, so therefore, this would be the perfect way of getting round it, and don't forget, all the technology that Sky has, you won't get those, pictures that break up - l think it is a brilliant idea.

They do. Even if a building is ugly (and not all are), adding a satellite dish makes they worse. Painting them black (as Sky do) just makes it worse.

Sky pictures break up all the time in poor weather. If they have technology to contol the weather I think they should be sharing it with us:D

This is from The Telegraph -

Virgin Media, the New York-listed but British-based group, has instructed Goldman Sachs to conduct a review of its content business and a sale is seen by analysts as the most likely option.

It has been well published that VM, are going to increase it BB service, therefore if Sky came in with an offer, then l think that VM would listen, and l think they would right, at the present time, VM are in trouble, as they are losing customers each month, and with the fact that there are, other companies coming in, and now we have another major on the verge of being taken over, VM and Sky have gone in with bids, to me it would not matter, as all l want is a quality tv service for what l pay for,.

my main problem is with the TV side, it is NOT giving the customers what they want, lets put it this way, why put a RED button on the remote, when you cannot use it, or the text button for that matter, l prefer SSNews, than Setanta Sports news, or Sky news, to BBC24, what do you think.:)
