Sky VoD - as above
Sky1HD - again, Sky would have never of given this to VM without the VMtv sale.
As a consumer you are free to choose what service provider you use, but VM is far from a poor choice.
Sky can't do VOD like VM can, so they only have their own channels as far as content is concerned.
It will be intersting once the Competition Commision has finished it's investigation in to Sky, with-holding VOD rights to competitiors, for movies it can't show.
VM are also persuing a complaint with Ofcom regarding the unfair £7 PER BOX rule that Sky imposes on them.

All good points matey and believe me i want to give my hard earned money to vm rather than sky,But i love my telly and especially american shows.Currently i am very concerned about the future of vm from a tv point of view,Sky is looking again to be getting far superior and leaving vm behind,VOD doesn`t do anything for me i have a V+ box i record what i want to watch and not really bothered about old shows but i know its is popular with others.Just tad disappointed that vm didnt pull out all the stops to get atlantic,Think it would have restored some faith with some of us subscribers.I have always supported vm and believed they would one day provide real competion to sky however the faith is waivering at the min.
