I agree with joff81 this is a useless deal for likely majority not everybody wants to give that company money or premier***** more greedy money.

With the likelyhood Sky force virgin to drop HD from XL and make new HD subscription service.

I have not watched sky pap for along time 24 was good at first but became like a soap opera churn rubbish.

However the likelyhood bravo , living and virgin will become pap hybrid sky channels with the worst garbage. They well make sure Sky will take the best and put it on sky one.

There no way they will keep the best shows like sparton on bravo or chuck.

Sky will ruin them with stupid rubbish like another simpsons garbage channel. Dare I say even remove them all together.
'useless deal for likely majority'???

Says who? Asked them all have you?

For years, numerous posters and VM customers have been banging on about the absence of Sky One HD; Sky Sports HD; Sky Movies HD; Red button. Now we've got them, finally.

As for 'stupid rubbish', the VMTV channels were filled with that, IMO. They won't be missed in my house and as part of the deal, well get them anyway for the next 9 years at least.

Each VM customer will need to ask themselves 'is this deal better for me?', regardless of what they think of Sky and its owner. Worrying for the next 9 years about what Sky may or may not do is pointless, I'd rather enjoy the services I'm paying for and the HD extra channels which I now have the option of watching on Digital Cable.
