[QUOTE=Tim Deegan;35324344]Vewing figures don't matter to the viewer at all. Unless you are talking about the viewing figures in the account holders house.

What you have to remember is that VM have to buy most of their channels from Sky. So it wouldn't be financially viable for VM to include channels with very low viewing figures. At the same time why should anyone pay Sky's high prices for loads of channels that they would never watch?

There may be some people who spend a great deal of time watching TV, and like to have the choice to watch 100's of channels. But personally I don't spend all my time in front of the TV, and I'm more bothered about quality than quantity.[COLOR="Silver"]

I too am more interested in quality over quantity, which is why I want a channel that shows several emmy award winning dramas and not dross channels like Good Food HD.
