Possibly, but that is pretty much what I was saying. If they sit around waiting for contracts to expire and totally ignore new channels that is not being proactive.

This isn't Sky Atlantic, it's a FTA channel, negotiations shouldn't be extremely complicated procedures. If they are trying to build their Asian audience, as recent acquisitions suggest, then neglecting to add the replacement for one of the most viewed Asian channels certainly isn't being proactive. I tend to agree with MB on this, VM are continuing the old Telewest method of sitting on their hands and watching the world pass by...

Nah, that's when they will start promising their upgrades, gradually rolling over the upgrade date by additional months as they fail to start by the previously announced date. (Sounds familiar?) - This also seems to be the method used when providing updates for service faults. Subscribe to text updates for a few faults, it's quite amazing how they send a daily update with the fix date slipping by a further day with each text.

And pigs should fly?
VM's TV offering is becoming less competitive with constant price increases and unreliable due to ageing hardware but I don't think a free service will "coming soon" or at all.
