No other supplier of goods ( & that`s what it is) is told to whom they must supply. It is not that you can`t not get them, it is that you choose NOT to get them.
Perhaps I can access ASDAs goods via my local CO-OP (its closer to me). Sorry its time people started to get real. I do not like, not having the full range of SKY channels via Virgin, but there are a whole lot more that are the same & very few people complain about that ( Think news channels on freeview for a kick off -not on Virgin) 
However I still choose Virgin over SKY - Why they cost about the same, both have plus & minus points, the reason I do is for the same sort of cost per month I get a box(es) & Modem I do not have to worry about 
If that model changed that so would I. |
I will say this ONLY ONCE...I do not expect or demand to see Sky channels on VM.I also think that the OP doesn't expect that either.
What we are complaining about is the way programmes are placed on Sky channels because Sky has far more money and therefore bidding power than any of the other platforms.
Two examples.House and Lost.Both were being shown on other platforms and channels.Between one series and the next Sky outbid for them and they disappeared behind the Sky platform.Very hard on those who were watching them on Channel 5 and Channel 4 and had no access to Sky.
