True, that's why, for example, there are measures in place to prevent the major supermarkets from operating a cartel. I just wish there was some body with a backbone to keep Sky in line.

Doesn't Virgin want Timeshifted channels? DMAX could be moved to M+, +1 to L, and +2 to XL if they launched on Virgin Media, that way everyone gets a slice of the DMAX cake.

Oops I forgot about Discovery +1 and Real Time +1 been on Virgin TV. |
I read this as dumbing down Sky Arts to gain more viewers. I always thought that Sky purchased the arts channels to be able refute claims that it was full of popularist pap and/or appeal to the more discerning viewer
