I don't keep bigging up Sky TV, it's you who keep on bigging up VM TV and I feel I just have to point out the shortcomings of the service.
I'm not going to waste my time remarking on individual points in your post but will just say that if you are happy to receive a bandwidth strapped, second rate, overpriced and behind the times TV service then that's your problem. Just stop exaggerating about a niche channel that mostly does nothing but show decade old repeats of Living and Bravo material.
I see the second series of Hero's starts Thursday on BBC2. Thank goodness a proper channel will be able to broadcast it in it's 16.9 entirety.
Oh! and FYI there's no HD TV here. Just SD on a WS TV. For the amount of HD content available I don't regard it as being worthwhile. Maybe in the future?

A PR person? Yeah mate of course i am.
Nearly all of your posts go on and on about widescreen! It's not the end of the world that it's broadcast in 4:3 it won't be forever and it does not affect the programme quality. If you are that picky not to watch a good programme because it's not widescreen that's your problem. You can pick out the short comings all you want, fact is there is very little short comings and the problems it does have is very small.
BB is bandwith strapped you say? Better than be exchange restricted! Only heavy users are affected by STM. I'm a torrent user and am never affected.
Then there is download limits to consider! At least i know i can download as much content i want without running out of an allowance set by my ISP.
Behind the times tv service you say? I would say VOD is much more ahead of it's of time than HD channels well Skys anytime isn't that's a joke! Plus there is enough HD VOD content on there anyway which is always updated regularly.
Stop exaggerating over a niche channel that shows nothing but repeats of Living and Bravo content you say?
Stop bragging over a nice channels that shows repeats of decade old simpsons, malcolm in the middle, futurama, cold case etc! Plus flops such as Journey man that don't even make a second season! They can'd find there own successes so instead they resort to nicking other networks successful programmes like Lost, prison break and 24 and pass them off as their own!
V1 has been launched since November and prime time has been mostly new content! Crime invasion, Death row dogs, the envy series, city in fear, Riches, Chuck, SCC, caribbean cops, Bob the exorcist, Extroadinary humans etc! I could go on!

They won't increase prices if they want to remain competitive. They will need to invest in their services and continue make improvements to differentiate themselves from the competition. If they don't and they increase prices then customers will not just accept it and they will walk.
