no i didnt mean exclusive just that its available through VM by other means therefore not new to VM and partially available through STB much like the youtube content is partially available on the Tivo but wholly available through BB on VM.

While I dont expect a great exodus away from VMTV there will be a drip leak away which could grow as all leaks do if not fixed. Many people will fall for Skys blurb about having more channels and cheaper and in HD with free BB and all that jazz wether its true or not. Its a matter of how people perceve and interpret the fact Sky have XYZ channels @ £100 to VMs YZ for the same money and Sky throw in free BB where VM charge uber£'s for the same thing.

I dont think average Joe Blogs looks at BB reliability because if they did Talk Talk wouldnt exist , but the fact people get cheap calls and free/cheap BB from Talk Talk means its one of the biggest and I think average Joe Blogs approaches subscription TV in a similar fashion ... its what you get for your £ and freebies that turns Joe Blogs head.

All of course IMO and loads will disagree ... now crossing fingers that all made sense as it did when i typed it
Some good points there Cozzy.
