Don't think that's what he was referring to. Also, I haven't seen any response on this issue by OFCOM. Chiefly, one assumes, as it's just a bit of PR'ing from Sky rather than anything serious.

Hmmm, not really anything to do with Virgin, let alone the Virgin/Sky 'dispute'

Not really anything to do with this dispute. I might argue that it's not really anything to do with Virgin either, as they had their chance to buy ITV but failed....but let's not go round in that circle again.

So, are you saying that the poster was not correct about OFCOM involvement in the Sky/Virgin 'dispute'? It's just that I haven't noticed their reply either....
