Virgin's policy of not forking out for supposed 'minority channels' is gonna end up biting them in the a**e, be it Premier Sports, Boxnation, Sky Atlantic, as more and more of these 'minorities' will jump ship, and their numbers will soon add up.

VM made hundreds of millions in selling their Virgin 1, Living and Bravo channels as well as their share in UKTV - stick some of that into getting content (and that's channels we DON'T have just now, not +1 or even HD versions of channels we do have) and they'll do a far better job of keeping customers.

Once they've got that then they can highlight the benefits of Tivo and On Demand (both of which they are currently having big technical issues with which doesn't help).
