It should be.
Expecting Virgin customers to pay the same price for less service is a ****ing joke.

Take it up with OFCOM then - they regulate Sky Sports and what Sky have to provide to other providers

i don't have to take it up with anyone - if Virgin can't, won't, or don't offer the EXACT same service that Sky customers receive then they should not be charging the same price.

They have no choice but to charge them the same price as Sky retail the channels to them for the same price. Unless ofc you want VM to make a loss on offering the channels?

Page 262, paragraphs 8.90 and 8.91 are quite interesting.

Virgin Media signs first three-screen deal
Deal with Disney includes TV, online and mobile TV rights
This is the first deal of its kind for Virgin Media, and means customers will soon be able to watch Disney content wherever they are; in their home or on the move.
The deal includes the addition of the recently launched Disney XD channel, TV on demand content including HD programming, as well as rights for a wide range of Disney shows to be made available online and via the mobile screen.

087. Community Channel (Not in Digital only areas.) Why 'not in digital only areas'?
There are a few channels allocated to regional variations where no equivalent exists in other areas on that channel number. Maybe it's just a bandwidth / multiplex issue but I'd really only have expected distinct differences for ITV in Scotland and Channel 4 in Wales. I see room for some alignment there.
</OT>
Speaking of alignment. I don't suppose there's any more news on ex-C&W/ex-NTL/ex-TW alignment? (Yes, I've read post one.)
I love the new logo MB. It's really 'is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a rocket ship' looking.

ITV are to axe ITV2 +1 so ITV can broadcast ITV1 +1 on Freeview.
Freeview says CITV is to stay in Scotland after September 30th.
Freeview says Community Channel will be only be broadcast in areas that is not Digital only - See DigitalUK on when your area will go digital only.
