But I note you didn't answer my questions which is fair enough being a staff member, I respect that.
So I will sum up, if 3/4 of VM customers currently have no V+, a PVR which is way cheaper than Tivo and in addition to that I would bet a lot are not higher tier subscribers either, not on XL and don't need XL so want to avoid the additional V+ charges for non XL subscribers so have a V or V HD box instead, why on earth do VM think they are going to shell out for Tivo, sign a new contract and pay an additional sub and probably have to subscribe to a higher tier of service?
I seriously doubt they will, not all because of a fancy set top box and that is all it is, a set top box and by all accounts a very nice one too but if they don't want V+ now I doubt they will want Tivo either.

If you are totally unbiased Mersey70 I don't know why you always seem to be concerned when anyone criticises Sky, or saying as you have that as a VM customer you have no right to criticise Sky. For instance jumping on someone for suggesting that Sky might have a hand in the removal of ondemand packages from lower tier when Sky has form for that sort of thing.
Personally I was never worried about the situation regarding Sky until the Sky basics dipute. Before that I used to swap regularly between platforms and liked having the choice. After that I could see the way the wind was blowing and that one platform had become too powerful and that with Murdoch's political influence nobody would do anything about it.
I think us VM customers have every right to criticise Sky especially when they use there far greater content buying power to try and force people to their platform.
I also think that VM customers
should criticise VM especially when they give the impression that something is coming soon and doesn't arrive. Quite honestly I have very little to criticise them for personally. They give me what I want for a reasonable price.
Sorry if this is a bit personal but I wonder if you are as unbiased as you say. I will admit I am biased against Sky for the reasons stated.
