Yes - an 'Channel no longer broadcasting' was on Channel 273 until last night for T&L.

They may survive but that will be about it. Whatever you think of BSkyB and Murdoch they will not be outwitted or out-thought by BT.

Indeed as BSkyB have been in the market for 20 years and and will eat BT Sports for breakfast.

Sky was losing money for many years. They always took a gamble and mostly kept paying off.
Sky tested PPV and said if there wasn't enough people taking PPV up, they'd just have to switch those back to the subscription channels, as we know not all what is PPV in the USA is PPV in the UK, however enough people took up PPV and now we suffer more events being PPV instead of in the subscription.

Does anyone know why there are 'empty spaces' on VM EPG ?

I've found SPL and Rangers games tend to clash with this fixture. As a result I don't think I've ever watched a 12:45pm Saturday Premiership game. I noticed BT Sports are trying to move Scottish football to a Friday night to stop this clash from happening. I would not be surprised to see SKY move their 30 SPL and 5 Rangers games to Saturday lunch time to deliberately clash with BT's English games. It would certainly help BT Sports look less attractive north of the border. Rangers are my team. I don't care if it's Man United Vs. Man City or Chelsea Vs. Arsenal, if Rangers are playing the likes of Stenhousemuir or Forfar at the same time I'll watch my team. Surely all football fans would prefer to watch their own team ahead of someone else?
