It seems to me that I am paying through the nose for limited Sky content, I am sure things would be much worse without OFCOM.

Yes but you get TiVo and upto 100Mb broadband, Virginmedias chosen road map many years ago was the UK's fastest widely available broadband which they have achieved and should be applauded for. TiVo is a fantastic product thats only going to get better, I'm told VM's ondemand puts Skys effort to shame, Your Tv pack includes ESPN.
So included in your price is all the above, You're getting fantastic value for money and you do get SS3 SS4 SSN SSF1 and you can enjoy those channels. You're not missing anything apart from a few pixels.
Sky chose to buy content, create content, invest in new channels, Virgin sold its channels to get more content in deal both sides were very happy with.
Virgin has achieved its goal of fast broadband, Sky has achieved its goal of great content. Its no good spitting your dummy out now. I'm not Anti VM my view like it or not is balanced and fair.
