There isn't any competition on the box buying market... Imagine if you could only view BBC channels on a set supplied by TV licencing UK, there would be an outcry, what Virgin get away with must be illegal under EU law.

But they don't let you use a box of your choice, EU legislation states that pay satellite providers must allow the end user to view a legally obtained subscription via a receiver of their choice via a suitable cam slot, they don't get away with it in other EU countries, only here because British consumers just accept their lot and don't challenge anything, lets start throwing cows into the sea is what i say.
