If you think the cricket worldcup should also bee protected then i suggest you petition your local MP and maby contact OFCOM to make the suggestion....
Hm this thread seems to be going off topic LOL the main point of it was to suggest that as vm customers pay the full wack for sky sports,the full content should be available not from the BBC but from sky sports itself.

Cricket i used as an example as i used to sub to sky sports only for the cricket,nothing else the red button issue is a big for me as for my old sub of £20 monthly i should have comprehensive coverage,which thanks to skys use of the red button i find out i have not,and i cannot get sky direct so cannot change suppliers!

Now i have dropped sky sports and will use radio and highlights on channel 5 in the summer,and sky will get not one penny more from me either for sports or basic channels as i have dropped to the M tv package,greedy sky can do one.
