So just a few weeks ago Sky was so great an origanisation that News Corp could take over full ownership and the world would be a great place and now that Murdoch has MP's on his back this genius comes out with its packages don't allow competition? I would have thought bundling is irrelevant in the bigger scheme of things.

I'm still surprised how no one raised the issue over VM's channel sale to Sky only for Sky to eliminate Freeview channels in order to get one up on BT and freeview.
The Labour MP did comment, incorrectly I felt, that some of his constituents were forced to pay Sky for television because no other services functioned in their particular locations (including Freeview I assumed). Surely Freesat should be available to them, which is nothing to do with Sky.
