I'm not knocking them for trying something new, i'm knocking them for their arrogance as a company and complete inability to admit mistakes without spin. My contempt for this company is such that I gain pleasure when learning that something has gone wrong for them.

Many of their own customers have complained that Sky will never admit mistakes or apologise properly, even when it is undoubtable that it is Sky who are at fault. Instead letters dripping with spin are received such as "we are sorry that you feel like this"; as if it is the customers fault for feeling unhappy that they have been wronged by Sky!
But it wasn't a mistake, Richard, it just didn't catch on. Sky should be congratulated for embracing new technology to bring an innovative service to its viewers. I certainly wouldn't criticise them for that, and they shouldn't be embarrassed at all.
