I think some people on here need to take stock of what's happening

Virgin

Have Free ESPN
Have Free HD

Sky

Charge for ESPN
Charge for HD
Sky Sports cost up £2 pm end of September

What are people moaning about, you don't want the HD services, you don't pay simple. Be grateful we are getting the red button (includ champions league) I pay £71 pm for the following

V+HD (XL + SKY SPORTS)
2ND BOX (STANDARD V BOX)
10MB BROADBAND
UNLIMITED PHONE CALLS + LINE RENTAL

With Sky I'd be paying over £20 more per month, take Sky Sports 3&4 HD out of the equation there ain't much there. Virgin Customers will benefit from this in the long term. Look at the facts

ESPN HD + SKY Sports 1 & 2 HD total cost p/m = £28

with Sky = £41 p/m from September

Be grateful Virgin are getting these services, Sky Sports HD was always going to cost a little extra.
