Well, what can I say? I voted "Yes" to this poll!

To be honest, I would like to see the Sky Channels return to the Virgin Media Platform.

Why, I hear many of you ask!!

Well, not too long ago, this site and other forums (that are concerned with what are now Virgin Media services) were full of posts demanding this channel and that!!

We had demands for carriage of the Horror Channel, FX, and many more. On the majority of these cases, NTL/Telewest brought them onboard. The reasoning for wanting these channels - better value for money!!

Considering that the Sky Channels have now been removed and that there are no plans to implement an overall reduction in the subscription fees for their services, I believe that Virgin Media has now become a poorer service, and is no longer as good value for money as it once was (if it ever was).

I for one will not be contacting Virgin Media to demand a reduction in my bill, after all, WHEN the Sky channels return, this reduction will more than likely be taken away, and there will probably be some increase in the monthly subscription fee. Think of the complaints that will be made!!

Bottom line - Bring back the Sky Channels and enhance the Virgin Media's Value For Money!!
