"starting to become..."! They've been out of the running on the TV front for years. I'm surprised they even bother to keep the TV service running at all anymore. They'd do better just to finally put it out of it's misery and focus on improving their badly over burderdened broadband offering.

Freesat and Freeview will be fine for most, and for those who want a real premium TV service then Sky HD is there for them. Competition would be nice of course, and I'll never subscribe to Sky personally due to the Murdoch factor, but Virgin have made it crystal clear that they have no intention of ever competing. Frankly when a free service (FreeSat HD) is better than a paid service (Virgin) it's all rather embarassing.
