As soon as $ky get rid of £10 HD charge and call out fee to fix the box etc - Its goodbye Virgin and Hello $ky. Its real, Its damn real. And Im not Kurt Angle  |
But Virgin aren't holding back 200 channels! On Sky the channels pay sky to get an epg slot, on virgin, virgin have to pay them to get a carriage agreement. Thats the reason new channels always appear on sky first, they have the widest possible audience and therefore gain the most from advertisement revenue. Sky have no choice generally speaking but to accept a channel onto its platform, virgin is a closed private company who has the choice of what to carry and when
