I also see on DRB that Sky Max and Sky Max HD is even still to start testing on Sky.

It's going to bite them in the behind, I don't get the impression people want to pay for TV news, news channels are all about maximising availability. I can't see all the likes of those hotels and airports wanting to pay, they'll just move to another channel, or not replace them at all.

I can see them having to reverse this move in a year or 2.

There are certainly some very passionate viewers on other forums and social media, one said they had it on in the background virtually all day and recorded shows on top of that. Several others have said they only subscribed to VM for CNN so will be moving.

Seems yet an other reason to look again at sky ,hi ho . Can't wait for the next price rise perhaps it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back . However it would mean changing BB as well. Unless keep it on lowest package . And put sky in for all TV watching . Can't see virgin being a viable TV source in more than two to three years.
