It's not often I disagree with den, but as far as I'm concerned Sky have earnt their competitive advantage since it is they, and not Virgin, that have gone out and bought the rights to the sports that they show on their channels. Forcing a company to share some of what it considers to be it's most important assets in the interests of competition is really just giving Virgin a license to make money out of another company's adventure. Same with f1, Sky have every right to keep the hd version for themselves, I believe. And I really hate Sky!
