Maybe that's why VM sold the company to LG?- not that LG have fared any better thus far.
The UK population has increased by 2.6% in the last five years, so in real terms VM's share has dropped by around that figure.

Please explain to me how a 2.6% decrease in real terms is 'haemmorhaging'?

btw, they're not a Pay TV company, they are a media and telecoms company, so to focus in on only one area would be sub-optimal, as investment in multi-branch organisations tends to be cyclic, as I am sure you know.
