That would be good (or perhaps say put it on the L/XL packages but not the M one, or something) - but I don't think that was an option, supposedly the deal was all or nothing.

No thanks... I'll wait for the DVD boxsets.

Which even for just a few programmes, will likely work out an order of magnitude more expensive than the price Sky were asking for.
Of course, there is a cheaper way to get hold of the programmes...

I'd say that's looking at it backwards - £40m sounds a lot, until you realise it works out at 3p per customer per day. Quoting £40m is meaningless when you don't know how many customers VM have, or what revenues they have, not to mention comparing viewers/price for other channels.
Also, surely 3p was the _new_ price, and not the increase?
In answer to your qu, no I wouldn't mind it if 90p per month of my bill went to Sky. I realise that not everyone is okay with that, but then everyone has different tastes. But for everyone, the question is what that money will be spent on instead.
