The VM presentation reported a net cable customer loss of 15,000 , Sky reported a total customer increase of 312,000 across all its product range.
Both companies TV results would suggest Pay TV subscriber numbers have reached a plateau , however both companies are producing good figures by enticing customers to upgrade to premium products.

Looking at these numbers do you now think that VM should stop spending a massive amount of money of marketing and spend it on new channels. I alone get about three pieces of mail a week from them and as I work in the industry I can tell you this kind of thing doesn't come cheap. If they have increased subscribers to the extent you've stated then maybe it should now start looking after it's current customers? Just a thought.
Also what exactly is all the hype about the Tivo box that you don't get with the sky box, other than three tuners? I willing to learn here in-case I'm missing out on some wonders that I've not found.
