Yeh right

If you think Sky aren't in the least bit worried about Virgin, i'd love to know your ideas on why they did all this, as surely someone who isn't worried would concentrate on spending their money on improving their own services instead?????

Whether anything changes or not is a different matter, but they are concerned.
Everything you've described is just the simple ins-and-outs of business. I really don't think think Murdoch's lying in bed awake a night at the thought the ntl-Virgin merger. For one thing you certainly don't get into a position like Murdoch, by being phased at every turn the competition makes.

Cable Forum is entirely independent of Virgin Media, as they are of Sky. Moderators are entitled to air their views (providing the don't contradict the terms and conditions of the site), without being Virgin Media public relations mouthpieces.
