I've said before, and I genuinely mean it, that I'm not really fussed about the channel itself. I watched the whole first series of Game of Thrones when it was recently on Sky 1. It should, on the basis of other things I like to watch, have been right up my street but I found myself in a minority of one who didn't like it. And besides, I have plenty to watch without it. To that end I would rather the ESPN money was spent on sport content - but not Bt sports. Every xl customer should get approx. £ 10 discount on Sky Sports, or the hd sub for free. Firstly this would cement the relationship with Sky by making their sports channels more attractive to Virgin customers and increasing the revenue from Sky's largest wholesale customer, and secondly, since not every xl subscriber would take up the offer, it would still leave Virgin with some spare cash for channel acquisitions.

No need to argue that fact with me in fact its been raised numerous times via official Sky forums/feedback , the channels are a mess in my opinion. Sky Living is supposedly a female skewing channel with shows like 'Britain and Ireland's Next top model' mixed with the likes of 'Hannibal' etc which to me seems bizarre , I do believe however before a big shake up can be done Sky need to work with other platforms to negotiate carriage of all their entertainment channels.
