Directors so thick??
You mean the directors who took a company from the brink of bankrupcy and turned it into a business that can compete head on with Sky and BT, two companies who have a national footprint and god knows how many billions to throw at any challenge that they are faced with.
Give them some respect man - its a cut throat world out there, its in the press how much Sky are struggling to attract new TV customers and thats with lots of HD, 3D, Sky Atlantic, Formula 1 etc etc.

The cost for Atlantic will be a a set fee per customer as are the majority of deals so if that is £1 thats 4 million per month or £48 million per year to VM - would they really get that amount of new custom to cover that amount??
But hey Ho Aurthur you clearly know best about whats the right way to run a business

This channel should have been in with the negotiation team, but there again the directors are so thick to understand there are channels out there to get but don't bother. Why on earth did they go after +1 channels is beyond me as we now have a 'recording' button on the boxes.
Even IF VM put the prices up say £1.00 per month on the XL, they could still cover the extra channels, Many members won't pay the extra fee, but there again you cannot have 'your cake and eat it'.
