Just for my pennies worth.

I don't know what I'll do about the turning off of the Sky basic channels. Sky one is only watched for two programs in our house: Nip/Tuck and Bones.

It's not worth leaving VM just for that. But at the same time I do feel let down that the two Companies cannot resolve it.

I remember many moons ago when two Companies were fighting for Satellite: Astra and BSB (I think they were called). Each company had it's own benefits for the channels and also the shape of the dish (round or square). They merged in the end and became Sky :-)

Sorry... A little history there.

Anyways. If Virgin can get some of the good shows and broadcast them without Sky One. I'll be a happy man.

OD is a step in the right direction (I sat in front of the TV all weekend and watched Greys Anatomy for free and for the first time).
