All? Most VM customers don't have a HD-capable STB, and most don't subscribe to Sky premiums.

One small, but extremely relevant, flaw in your otherwise immaculate hypothesis - I don't work for VM, or any affiliated company.

You would suspect wrong.
We are Moderators, not 'members of staff' - no renumeration is involved, our time spent moderating is voluntary, and there is no 'hymn book' (there is also no link to VM, other than unofficial contacts to escalate CF members issues).
