Well here is a different angle.

I was speaking to an Asian guy in Aston the other day. He reckoned most Asians don't go for VM, despite the superior broadband, because with VM you can't get free channels from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. On a Sky dish he said you can get stuff like morning prayers straight from The Golden Temple in Amritsar, a must for some. He couldn't think of one Asian person up his street with VM, despite it being a cable area.

VM cannot compete with satellite dishes, but they could throw in more 'free' channels for the Asian population. Is there a problem with procurement? It could be worth the investment.
