This is purely hypothetical, as I am curious to know how many would be willing to pay more for more channels.

Here's a thought, why not pay less and get them? I had with virgin the following and paid £103 p/m
TiVo box and v+ box with all the channels (sports movies etc)
Phone (evening and weekend)
60mb broadband
Moved back to sky and now pay £83p/m for 6 mnts then £95p/m and I get the following
Sky plus HD and extra box - with shed loads more hd channels, a 3d channel, sky Atlantic and a sky go app that blows virgin tv anywhere out of the water. Also as I now have had experience of the two the VOD content is not that much different. Also other than the three tuners I will not be convinced by anyone that the TiVo is good as everyone on here seems to think.
Phone - anytime calls so again an improvement on what I had before
Broadband - this is the only thing that's not as good but I've been getting 15mb which I can live with to be honest and sky's fibre is due in my area in the next 3 months. Now get cloud wifi and won't get traffic management on my broadband that VM did after only three months and not even excessive usage(VM cs agreed with me) as my BB speed was dropped to 0.5mb. So have I lost out?
No brainer for me and as one of the few that's seen both sides of the VM/Sky coin I think I'm in a good position to comment, unlike some on this forum who will defend VM without actually seeing what the so called opposition has to offer.
