With Sky, we can get Sky World, BB, Phone for £108.
Plus with Sky you get all sports in HD, F1 plus atlantic. But not ESPN but that's going anyway and BT won't put it on virgin for free.
If the sky channels get added to virgin, I don't see how they cant make it more expensive than sky.
The only benefit to Virgin over sky is the 3 tuners, the fact that the multiroom box is also a v+hd box (recordable, 3 tuners but not really used), and that it doesn't go off in heavy rain.

Which is better between Sky and VM purely depends on an individual's requirements. So there is no best.
I was just answering your question on the negativity people feel towards Sky.
And there is one other that I didn't list. Because Sky have so much money, they can buy whatever TV show they want. So on several occasions, they have come along and 'pinched' successful US dramas that terrestrial channels have taken a chance on for the first couple of seasons and deprived a big chunk of the British TV audience of seeing the following seasons. That is abuse of monetary power in my view.

If it's reasonable for Now T.V., why not for anyone else?

It's a guess, but I think it could be too expensive. The main thing we don't know, is how they will package it.
Will they offer a full entertainment package including SA, which would make it unattractive for VM users as we already have most of the channels.
Will SA as a whole channel be a separate option, and what is a fair price for that?
Or will it be just individual show seasons or individual episodes that are available.
Only time will tell...
