Ofcom only class 1&2 as "must offer", so they are advising Sky to offer the HD variants at a "fair" price.

The Hokies (Virginia Tech) will tear it up this season Ryan Williams is a fantastic running back.

This is due to the OFCOM ruling, not sure about what deal they have come up for the sale of the VMTV channels ? But OFCOM said that if SKY were to move most of the sports to 3+4 that they would include them in the wholesale must offer!

Though I think VM are appealing this now, in an effort to get SS3 + 4 HD included?

Thats not true VM would be shouting at the top of there lungs, plus isn't there a World cup freeze with no upgrades or channel adding in case it balls up the channel for some customers.

Re-read the post.

It's a joke. He's saying don't believe what people say until it's officially announced as anyone can say they know someone who works for VM, and then saying he's spoke to someone who works for VM and they've said that. It's an obvious joke.
