Actually in the sky case it turns out they didnt like loosing the box profits the 3rd partys were making and thats why they took amstrad off sugar at a good price, so as to corner the now large market with lower cost stbs.

and as a bonus, their BOM is the lowest market cost price , not to mention it puts them in full control of the plan to introduce AVC/H.264 accross the board in uk markets , that AVC DVB-T transport stream plan is still in full effect, just waitng on the side lines for approval etc.

i take your points about the way VM are throwing pennys around were they should be spending the pounds now, but they seem blind to the bigger sky plans for long term setting standards for their long term profits etc.
