That's right, Sam, which is why I said you have to work within the system.

I think that my post #2718 answers Muppetman's point completely. I don't like exclusive deals which restrict the programmes that people want to see, that's the point. As viewers ourselves, I find it surprising that these exclusivity deals have the support of cable forum members.

However, if this is the world we have to live in and the regulators won't do anything about it, VM needs to jump on the bandwagon or sink without trace.

Sorry, MM, but that post makes absolutely no sense to me!

Of course that is the case, but why is it exclusive to BT? It may make sense to the two companies involved but it is not good for viewers. It just perpetuates a situation whereby we have to subscribe to all the various players to get the programmes we want. It's an absolute disgrace, if you ask me.
