Premier Sports is an example of where Virgin Media were quite happy to do business, just not on the terms the channel wanted due to them not thinking it was the best value way for the business and their customers.

So there you go, you can have Premier sports but you can't afford it(nothing to do with Sky),Virginmedia have been free to buy in ITV2,3,4HD for over a year(nothing to do with Sky) you could have Atlantic and Skysports 3/4 in HD but can't afford it.
You give HD for free, Sky charge £10.25, if Virginmedia had a HD fee then they would be able to afford the extra channels. It Virginmedias choice to offer HD inclusive in XLtv. If that leaves their pockets a bit short then blame VM's bean counters for making a bad decision.
This report has really given the customers good information.

If you had of read it you would see your "Sky withhold channels" argument you've been spouting out for years has just been blown out the water.
Virgin customer have the right amount of content at the price point they pay, more premium content is out there but they may have to pay more.
