I get that you believe that, it's just at odds with what I am seeing. No point in debating how you feel about the opinions of others though. Someone not agreeing with you doesn't really fit the definition of trolling. Maybe you just have a problem with dealing with the fact that not everyone will agree with your way of thinking.

Notvat all. There is no complication here.Your point is a pedantic one, because whether you view the features to be minor or major, the conclusion is the same. If the V6 gets withdrawn, some may leave Virgin it's true, but no other provider offers these TiCVo features. That was the point.

Again. you are ignoring the opinions of others and viewing your opinion as the only correct opinion. It isn't "correct", it's just an opinion and no more valid that what everyone else thinks about the value of specific features. So, as things stand, these customers will probably realise they can get "lowest common denominator" services elsewhere and will simply leave because Virgin no longer provides what they want.
You are somewhat correct about no other provider stepping forward to provide missing features. The barriers to entry in the content distribution market are massive. Normally, basic supply and demand would mean another provider would step in to supply a product with the features demanded by the consumers. In this instance, perhaps not.
The actual point though, which you have deliberately ignored, is that by starving the V6 of apps, Virgin has already forced users to go elsewhere for their streaming content. If Virgin goes on to remove the only features keeping these customers, they will leave. I get that you don't see this as important, I'm afraid others will.

You've completely missed the point. If the current offer is withdrawn, there is nowhere to go for a similar system.

Again you are pretty much repeating what you have already said so my reply to your previous point also applies here.

I agree with everything you said in that post but this part especially. It does seem that, with Old Boy, it is "my way or the highway".
