Sky RED button - As above (almost ready on this one)

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.
I'm interested; do you think Virgin ever do anything wrong?

Don't get me wrong, I think Virgin offer a good service, but you seem to defend every single decision they make. No one gets everything right.
