To say Sky will pay anything is nonsense they look after the customer its just their offering is completely different to that of VM. Do you not think Skys bargaining power is an advantage after all they do have over 10 million subscribers.
Sky Go is limited to one device (I've heard), HD is £10.25 per box in comparison to free, each extra box is £10.25 a month in comparison to £6.25 and there is no iPlayer, etc.

Sky will pay anything just like they've payed anything for House, 24, Prison Break, Lost, Mad Men and Glee, just to take them off free to air and have them all to themselves (literally in 2007).

TiVo (in the state that US users receive it) is much better than any provider supplied PVR and at an additional £3 per month is nothing when you receive free servicing and replacements on tap.

The reason Sky has 10 million subscribers is because Sky as a brand is like iPod/iPhone/iPad, to the uneducated it is the only brand and no matter what features anyone else offers, they're just copycat poor products. Add the fact that its been around for longer and that it can be received almost anywhere instead of your street having to be cabled then its obvious why they have more customers.

And can ESPN please show more MLS, especially live matches.
