That surly is unfair competion and exactly the sort of buisness pratices that last years ofcom ruling frowned upon. Also while i'm at it i'm sick of people saying i get basic HD for free - i don't, is there a TV package on virgin that costs £0 per month? No, you pay for the package that you recieve, no one gets anything for free, i pay my money and i want treating like a paying customer.

It's free to Sky customers only until August, then they have to pay. Also on Sky you pay
extra to get HD. It's also worth pointing out Sky customers don't get such a wide selection of VOD content (something I personally use almost as much as the linear channels).
I think it's safe to say at this point if you want Sky Atlantic anytime soon/ever you need to move to Sky.
