Virgin Media could be massive right now but whilst they have STM, limited HD and paying celebs millions for adverts they will be just a company in the middle of sky and bt

I'm not going to debate about STM as i agree but as soon as BT come out and offer a non STM'd fibre optic bb offering then VM will have to do the same otherwise people will leave em.
I don't agree about Setanta sports. Setanta sports is a premium offering and they didn't have to sign a £40m quid deal and offer it to their xl customers.
The customers bothered about the loss of Sky one either defected or got a retention offer on their bills for 12 months.
We now have Setanta sports news and Setanta 1,2,3 etc.
I'm happy with VOD, we have iplayer which is great and there is more than enough full series on there. Not all of them are half and there is a lot off one off docs etc. Free music ondemand etc. We have had HBO etc all added since the removal of Sky basics.
