I guess the question is what can Virgin do with this extra capacity post Olympics. Any new Sky channels or Prem Sports or even ITV HD 2-4 will still be difficult so what channels are out there that are both reasonably priced (or free) and worth having?

I would really like Virgin to push on and try and secure as many non-SKY HD channels as possible. I would also like the opportunity to subscribe to Premier Sports. Other than this there really isn't too much that Virgin could add that would make me go WOW! There really isn't too much out there, that Virgin don't already offer, that would significantly improve my viewing pleasure.
Even the "jewel in the crown" SKY Atlantic isn't a massive loss for me. Anything that has taken my fancy from SKY Atlantic, I've managed to find it from elsewhere often before the episodes have even aired in this country. If the channel was to come to Virgin I'd happily pay for it as part of my subscription. As it stands the channel is being withheld from me through no fault of my own. I'm locked in contract with Virgin and can't join SKY. I could wait until SKY Atlantic programmes are released on DVD, over a year after their original TV airing, however I refuse to pay £40.00 for a DVD box-set of a programme I've never seen or might not like. |
