VM are really missing a trick, appreciate them holding out for a better price but at the end of the day they should let the customer decide.

According to reports, Premier Sports, BT Sports and Sky Atlantic* were not taken up because VMs stance on price. I would have thought that quite a few customers would have been prepared to pay extra as stand alone or even an XXL TV pack.

I think I've got to the point with VM that I feel they are always going to be handed the scraps and last in the queue for content. As much as I love Tivo and their broadband service I have to say content (in particular HD) is king. So having suffered no Sky Atlantic, over a year without ITV HD, other HD channels missing I find that losing ESPN and not getting BT Sports is the last straw for me.

But you know what really f***s me off, no statement or update from VM!!!!

* less sure about that one.
