Oh goody!

Another Sky versus VM thread - I was a bit worried that we didn't have enough of them on Cable Forum.

I understand that some people are upset/annoyed/(fill in appropriate emotion) that as VM customers, they will no longer be able to see some of their favourite TV programmes which were on Sky One et al.

At the end of the day, two businesses couldn't agree contractual terms - it happens all the time; I don't remember everyone complaining this much when BBC lost the "24" series to Sky; there weren't people posting online saying "I am willing to pay more for my TV licence so I can watch "24"", or, "I want my TV licence reduced because I can't watch "24" on the BBC anymore".

There are, however, a number of options available to people:-
a) Cancel VM
b) Cancel VM and take a Sky subscription
c) Cancel VM and get a Freeview box
d) Stay with VM and do nothing
e) Stay with VM and talk to CS about a better deal
f) Stay with VM and take a Sky subscription (unusual, but possible)
g) Do nothing, but complain a lot
h) Take one of options a) - f), and complain a lot
