Like most VM customers i hope this happens but shall wait until we get the official announcement before i pop the champagne however.
This would be really exciting news though. After the recent new channel launches and more HD content to get SA (even if just SD at first) and BT Sports for the same price as we have been paying, or even a minimal increase of £1 or £2 per month, would be a big boost for VM and would surely shut up even the most vocal critics of VM out there. (Well ok probably not 'cos there always be something for people to moan about i suppose)
For me packages come down to value for money and what is proposed offers that imo and credit to VM if this happens.
There would not really that much left that Sky have that VM dont. Not that much to make people want to jump ship anyway.
If Universal HD comes (which has been rumoured for some time) that would be great. from a personal view.
We may even get Sky Sport News HD at some point. Only leaves Sky Sports 3 & 4 HD left and that is ultimately down to Sky if they wish to keep them for themselves- oh and MGM maybe.
VM bashers may need to find a new pastime

Upon reflection, I fear the VM bashing will continue. Esp. if Chad's statement about a new Sky exclusive channel launching is true. (I believe BomberAF also alluded to it in one of his posts - about VM not paying premium prices for SA because Sky would not guarantee against new exclusive channels launching.) We probably will get SA in Aug, but it will be pretty pointless if Sky put all the new content on another channel we wont get. The bashing will just begin again for said channel, and continue for Universal HD and the missing sports in HD

I tend to agree andy_m, unless he intends to delete his account and/or wants a load of abuse come Aug 1st.
