Re: How should Virgin offer the Olympics to their customers?

It is bordering on the rediculous that people thought Britains second largest pay tv provider was not going to provide full coverage of Britains own Olympics
It was less than two weeks since Sky made their announcement, and 4 months since Virgin Media announced that TiVo would get full BBC coverage of the Olympics

So, I would say that it was those who already had certain views on Virgin Media that have seen a two week difference in announcements when there is still 4 months to go 'rediculous'. Most customers of either Virgin Media or Sky won't have even noticed
