It's the only way to challenge Sky though, Den. Gonna be interesting times ahead. BT BB with it's linear TV offering, and Sky's linear TV Now TV box is looking a very good idea. All depends on how much you want full access to on demand content from Sky, I guess.

VM need to pull something out the fire pretty soon. TIVO and free BT sport are pretty awesome, but in 12 months time, I wonder if it will be enough to make me go back.

One suspects Virgin have still to play their cards and will have something up their sleeves in the coming months.
They will need to soon Den, given BT have decent enough BB, and can offer a pretty decent TV line up - with all the sports channels, it seems to me they need to offer something pretty soon. I guess it all depends what they want from their TV offering.

I wonder if VM will ever make Discovery stable of channels, exclusive to VM. Doesn't the LG owner, own those channels? That being said, I am not sure if it would make sense due to loss of ad revenue.
