I'm happy with Virgins strategy of waiting a while and getting the channels at a lower cost

Happy not to have to pay extra to view the HD versions

As for the missing channels like ITV2 HD, don't watch the SD version so not missing the HD channel. Sky Arts HD, don't have interest in the channel. However I do love Film4 HD and I wouldn't be able to get that on Sky, would like SS3HD and SS4HD but at least we have two of the 4 channels in HD, Sky News HD whats the point?

Haven't seen anything of interest on Sky Atlantic, and no doubt once August comes and Sky restrict which of its own viewers can see it, it will come to Virgin

I thought almost everyone in the business agrees that the future is VOD rather than linear channels, with Virgins infustructure and great broadband for IPTV where does this leave Sky in the future?
