It's a good job they don't now , not many would be able to view it in HD thanks to VM exclusivity something many condemn Sky for ;)

Which is not necessarily in both cases in the interests of the consumer!;)

As for the cricket ad free in the poll the BBC its a no brainer as has been said.:)

I think that all broadcasters may be looking at SKY in a new light after this (I know that it is not this country, but the main company wants the same here:confused:)

We as customers of virgin media have already seen what sky is capable of with the sky basics dispute where sky withdrew all its non sport channels from virgin media customers,it was asking top dollar for its channels whist claming the VM channels were worthless in a carriage dispute.

The biggest problem for those who despise Murdoch is how to stop their money reaching him after all buy a Sun Newspaper , watch a twentieth century fox movie at the cinema , subscribe to Sky TV , read certain magazines and your money ends up with Rupe.

Not only that mate uncle Rupe also gets money from virgin media subs(customers ) in the form of carriage agreeents for the sky branded channels and sky sports channels.

I do not despise Rupert Murdoch personally as he is only doing what most buisiness men with power and financial muscle would do,i despise the politicians who suck up to rich powerful vested interests and fail to regulate properly on behalf of the population in general,after all they are the peoples representatives.

Excellent point , I watched a documentary once on the Waltons who own Wal Mart they are as bad as Rupe in every way , after all you don't get that sort of cash without crossing a few.

Confused as to why you have included a poll which has nothing directly to do with the title which is a question asking what res it was broadcast in.
In regards to the Poll i will answer that as BBC which is a complete no brainer, if you had the choice of BBC with no adverts why would anyone in their right mind choose anything else?
