its nothing to do with being unfair its about telling it as it is from a customers point of view without sugar coating anything.

we all know Sky are the biggest pay tv provider in the UK but VM are the 2nd and as such should be able to get deals done pretty easily but they just dont seem to do that.

sure its good to have all the HD for free but VM just dont seem to make headway with HD purely because they trickle the channels out and Sky keep marching on totally over shadowing anything VM do with HD.

just today Sky got Disney XD HD, last week ITV 2 HD, Nickelodeon HD and the week before EDEN HD and Living HD.
in 2 months we have had Comedy central HD and Sky HD. sure 2 channels in 2 months but SKY have added more in the last fortnight and more than double that in the last 4 weeks.

if i could get Sky i would in a shot purely for HD but i cant get permission to get a dish on my house form both landlord and council.

you call it unfair !!!
surely you mean unfair to customers who have to watch Sky get HD channels while VM seem to twiddle their thumbs and not get any further foreward as every step VM make with HD Sky move 5 further foreward making the gap wider overall.
