Maybe Virgin and SKY can do a deal. Virgin let SKY use their broadband network, in return Virgin get access to all SKY HD channels, SKY 3D, full red button access, SKY mobile, SKY anytime and SKY Player.
To get best advantage from VM you really need their cable (fibre optic to the cabinet) service rather than their ADSL (copper wire to the home) service. Whilst some people cannot have a dish for Sky or FreeSat, most people can but the current VM cable coverage does not facilitate a reasonable level of direct choice between cable and satellite. To make a comparison between them or suggest a two-way deal with Sky just isn't realistic until VM have greater numbers of areas cabled up. That, I imagine, is a very long-term and expensive ambition for VM at the moment but one which I would fully support them diverting funds and effort to achieve.
