Also, you DO have access to their sport, just not in HD. i want their sport and Movies in HD too...

All im saying is i can see Sky's point.
Fair enough Mobes but i come from a consumer angle,and whilst i may have access to their sport that is only thanks to regulation (the rate card) which states that NTL/vm now, must have access to sports/movies at regulated prices.(office of fair trade ruling i think a few years ago) after the itv digital fiasco.

ofcom have seen all the buisiness side of things as there have been plenty of consultations in the pay tv enquirey( profit margins and such were blacked out so the public could not see them online so i cannot say if sky could cut the price and still return healthy profits ) so i do not need to think about skys business side as ofcom have done and know more then i could ever do.

Also i do not have access to all of their sport a lot is now hidden away under the red button which obviously is not yet available to us despite paying a hefty sub. But Mobes we shall have to wait and see.
