nothing like it.

its more like a supermarket charging you £1 for 4 tins of beans one week then the next week only giving you 3 for the same money.
i dont expect a shop to refund me for service/products ive already had but i do only expect to pay for products/services that i recieve and with VM you are getting short changed by 5 channels once they are removed.

the difference is i dont have a contract with the supermarket but i do with VM which means that if VM take something away (like the supermarket) i cant simply say i dont want your service and move on.

to be honest the reason why they are closing is mainly down to the fact they offer very similar tv programs to when SKY`s own SKY channels offer. hence the reason the best shows off them are moving to living/sky and Sky are closing the old VM platforms.

also by doingg so Sky got out of that long term carrage deal as you cant offer channels that no longer exist. this is why Sky Atlantic needs Sky and VM to agree a carrage deal as Sky have screwed VM out of the carrage of their old tv channels and get to screw more money out of VM for a carrage deal for Sky Atlantic when Sky could easily rebrand channels like they are with living in january.
