Probably cut about £30 off the bill. So they will actually make much less money off me personally if they don't get BT Sports.

I must have missed something I looking back thru pages and pages on here and I can not recall anyone saying IT MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE are you getting confused with a different forum

Their real HQ is in Denver, Colorado. This is where Mike Fries and John Malone (Liberty's majority owner) are based. For tax reasons, the HQ is now listed in London. In a sort of way, Liberty has become a subsidary of VM.

I'm sure you're right but half might be an under-estimate.

Let's focus on the topic, not pesonalities, please - it's getting close to crossing the line from banter to hectoring.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Can you all please stop reporting posts in this thread, unless they are *seriously* abusive or represent some other major breach of the forum rules. We are getting fed up of members using the report post button simply as a means of feuding with each other and are not far off using the infractions system to put a stop to it if you can't stop yourselves.
This thread is temporarily closed so you all get a chance to read this warning without it vanishing off the last page.
