They're not being told though. Its their choice to be with VM and they chose to do so knowing VM's offering. People can't just have all the benefits of VM tv and then complain about what it sacrifices to provide those benefits.

If you read the thread you will see that when I started the thread I hadn't called VM. And that I asked for advice on this thread rather than get all the sales patter on the phone from VM.
My questions were answered on this thread, which is why I then phoned VM. It was only then that I found out how much I can save.
It appears from posts on this thread that most of the channels that I watch are also on VM.
So from the advice that I have received in this thread + finding out what savings I can make, it's a no brainer decision now.

Which is why I made the above comment,you want to do it for financial reasons,which is perfectly reasonable,on your other point I have read the entire thread and you never once said you had not contacted VM before you started the thread,anyway,I hope you will be happy with your choice and have found people's opinions on here helpful.

Yes you are. So you do need to be on the VM network to get any VM channels.

No, but half way through the thread I did say that I had just got off the phone with VM, and had just found out how much I can save.

As a VM TV customer I emailed Cindy Rose about VM carrying ESPNA in HD , credit to her she emailed me back stating it was expensive to carry and had limited appeal , so in my opinion I was being told , hence my decision to switch as I find ESPNA SD poor on some live events.

I think that this thread needs a bit of humor in it?
