I don't watch sports channels, but the more they get the better.

The plus side of that: Sky's only advantage over VM is more channels. If VM get more channels, that (very small in my view) advantage Sky have is reduced and VM get more cutomers bringing in more revenue.
It's quite an advantage though to Joe Bloggs.

And of course being a cable customer of any operator you are always at the operators mercy on channel choice. You have to weigh up what else is offered, as we know there's plenty extra on VM aside from the channels available.

However I do find it a bit worrying though that broadcasters are swapping channels, I can't deny it especially when in this case they are only FTA channels anyway. I hope it isn't something that becomes the norm.
