Not scared at all.. I think it's a bad thing, but that's only because its competition that forces companies to innovate with new services and channels and to keep prices down.
Both Sky and Virgin have some nice things that the other doesn't operate (either at all or as well), such as On Demand (Virgin wins here) and all the red button stuff (Sky wins here). Do you *really* think that would happen if one TV provider was in the market? No, it wouldn't. What would happen is that they would charge what they want and offer what services they want. They could, after, all, get away with it. If they wind the customer up, who is the customer going to go to?
If you want to see a restricted but extremely expensive service, carry on, support Sky. If you want the prices to stay low, and keep Sky (together with the cable companies) innovating to improve services and reduce prices, then we need someone (not necessarily VM) who can challenge Sky.
