If you don't like what VM do - then leave
This issue is simply irrelevant to Virgin Media customers. The only people who may be interested are Sky Cinema subscribers on the Sky platform who use Sky+ HD.

It has already been fully explained to you why Virgin suits me at this particular time and that, if/when this changes I will be exploring other options. This is not to say that I am happy with everything about them, I most certainly am not.

As much as i could see Virgin including Disney+ with ads at some stage , why would they pay for this channel.
It is indeed bizarre, perhaps they can tune it in manually??

I can't see Virgin throwing in the various streaming services in at no extra cost in the way that Sky do.

Bouchier has repositioned Virgin from being a triple play provider to that of primarily a broadband provider who happens to include TV (no mention of phone at all.) This is his explanation anyway. Sky is probably a better option for those who want all the streaming services that Sky provide, but the only streaming service i'm interested in is HBO max, so I don't take these Sky freebies into consideration.
