the tv area of virgin media doesnt make them much money and would only cost them money getting new channels etc so isnt an area to invest in. i'm becoming more and more convinced theyre trying to sell.

based on just those assumptions...but i have nothing else to do when im in my single bed in my mums boxroom at night so dont shout at me...
You must be quite a sight when you go clubbing, Vince.

I have to agree that the situation doesn't look good. My contract is up in app 3 months and looking around, I can get BT 'phone, calls, BB & TV for £44 plus another £38 to Sky for the full TV package in HD with mountains of box sets, movies etc. Admittedly, the BB isn't as fast but then I don't need it to be - 30Mbps is enough for streaming etc. More TV for less money unless VM look really good in that lippie & tight dress!

I'd be amazed if BT don't set up a 'Sky Sports 5' type operation for Champions League which will be chargeable.
