They might have a chance if they:

1. Offer a better PVR than TiVo
2. Offer more HD channels than Virgin (Currently zero!)
3. Charge less than Virgin for TV, Broadband and Phone
4. Start to carry SKY Movies, all SKY Sports channels, Premier Sports, Boxnation etc...
5. Offer a better on demand / catch up service than Virgin
6. Make their content available on the go i.e. via mobile and online
7. Add another 100 or so channels that are current missing from their line-up

If £1.3billion can help them do this then yes. I suspect You View will have more customers than Virgin in 3 years time.

It's all good news for us the consumer. I'd love to see a price war!
