I am undecided about switching to Sky. I really don't want to as I am not keen on them as a company or their tactics. However VM should really lower their prices for customers that have lost channels.

I used to be with Telewest before VM took over and was quite happy with them and their CS. I have the HD package and PVR which is nice. But honestly there is so little HD content it's next to worthless. I understand that VM will be (according to the recorded message on their helpline) "be using the saved money to provide more OD content" etc.... But why should I pay the same price with less channels for somthing that MIGHT come in the future. I have looked through the currently available OD programs and nothing really interests me.

When I signed up I choose a package based on the channels I wanted to watch. I am sure in my contract it says that VM have the right to change the channels at any time, but it still doesn't change the fact that I don't have the package I signed up for.

Thinking about it now I might be best off with Freeview. I will see what VM say if I ever get through. 25 mins on hold now and waiting, and waiting.
