Cable Forum - View Single Post - V+ Should the VM EPG be aligned with the Sky EPG?

As per a discussion in the 'Coming Soon to VM' thread, I have created this poll to gauge the opinion of forum members.

As the Sky EPG is regulated, it would have to be VM who instigate any change.

The pros, as as I can see, are that it will make it easier for customers swapping from one of the two main platforms to another as they will already know their favourite channel numbers. It will also make it easier when channels are marketing themselves.

The cons appear to be that VM may dislike appearing to be seen to be following Skys shadow. Forum member DaMac also believes that this would be a mistake as the Sky EPG is a mess in itself!

Taking everything into consideration, what do you think?
