Some people are not allowed dishes on their rental properties. I would doubt the number of people who watch the channels are miniscule, the station owners/advertisers would not have expanded them out to VM if they were not in demand.
Other than the odd program on Sky 1 (previously fringe, the take, and mad dogs when it is shown) and the odd show on both Sky Arts channels, I don't watch the Sky basics. Lets charge extra for those, VM could charge a much higher price for them. Lets face, VM continued as a company when they lost the channels. (and yes, they would continue as a company if they lost the foreign speaking channels too)
Honestly, what will some moan about when we eventually get Sky Atlantic. We all know VM are trying to get it, like every other network. Unfortunately there seems to be something stopping it from coming to all other networks. As for the missing HD sports, we should be grateful we get SS 1 and 2 in HD. The only reason we get those is because Offcom forced Sky to give us them. It is highly unlikely we will ever get the rest.
Finally please tell me, other than SA, what is missing from VM that the majority of people desperately want?
