Exactly! VM are all "ooh, look, our shiny new on demand channel!" except everything on it is stuff I've either seen on other channels or don't want to see. They've also made a point of "don't worry, you'll still get to see Lost a bit later in the year" - but what about the programmes other people want to watch. Contrary to what VM may think, not everyone who liked Sky 1 watched Lost. There's 5 shows I was watching, plus another 2 that are currently between seasons. Can I make alternative arrangements to see those shows? Well, yeah, sure, but I shouldn't have to!

Before anyone starts defending 1 company or the other, I'm mad at both - Sky for their greed & bullying tactics, & VM for not giving those of us who actually wanted Sky 1 & 2 [2 came in handy when there were scheduling conflicts or I missed an episode of something] the option to pay the extra £1 a month or whatever it would have been to continue receving them.

Also, before anyone starts criticising my taste in TV channels or programmes, it's exactly that - my taste. Nobody says you have to like it too, just like I may not like some of the channels you might like, which is why I deliberately didn't mention the numerous channels I get even though I don't want them. When the last channel reshuffle was done I gave up counting after I'd moved over 70 to the bottom of my list, out of the way.

Sorry about the last 2 paragraphs, but I felt I needed to add them having seen some of the stuff in the main thread on the whole topic.
