Just came across this article which suggests that according to rumours Sky+ may become a subscription free service as of 12 February.

So, i was wondering, if this was to happen, do you think Virgin Media will follow by making V+ (TV Drive) free too? I'm aware that the V+ boxes also offer HD TV, but surely Virgin Media could charge a subscription just for the HD channel(s), but make the PVR functionality free.

What do you guys think?

PS: should this also be posted in the Telewest TV Drive forum, or maybe in the ntl:telewest General Forum? Not fully sure. Could the mods/admins move it if needed please. Cheers
