I think we all have differeing views as to the value of VM compared to Sky. If I had the same content with Sky then I'd be paying £20 per month more - £9 for ESPN and £10+ for HD. Therefore, VM on XL is good value when you compare like-for-like but not as good value as it was before as the last six months have seen two price increases (yes one was the VAT increase and out of VM's hands) but a reduction in the number of channels available.

The issue here is that VM upped the price by £2 per month in April but VM has made no effort to replace the channels lost. In other words, we are paying more but getting less. All it seems to be in 2011 is Tivo, and nothing else when it comes to TV and eventually people are going to downgrade of even cancel VM if VM continues to increase prices whilst offering fewer channels.

Sky prices weren't held. Sky increased their tv packs by £1 as well. Last September. I think they also increased sports by a wopping £3. They also put their prices up in line with the VAT increase, same as every other company.

Like you say one increase was VAT and every company put their prices up so why call it two increases. The VAT increase is irrelevant as it is a government increase.

If you read back you'll see I said XL increased by a pound , Sky prices meaning premium channels to VM subscribers were held on the last increase, but as DF has correctly stated the Sky increases are at a different time to VM , I've never claimed Sky don't increase prices.
