I think people are forgetting what VM got out of selling their channels to Sky: Access to Sky HD channels, Sky VOD AND Sky Red button.

If they hadn't sold those channels, this forum would be full of threads demanding the likes of Sky One HD on Cable, as it was before the sale of VMTV.

All things considered, I think VM were right to sell the channels. Plenty of cable companies around the world do just fine without owning any content. What VM need to do get more out of the content they have, more out of TiVo and more out of their network and Virgin TV Anywhere is a good, if long overdue step in the right direction.

Still think they could be doing a hell of a lot more with TiVo but that's a topic for another thread.
