If VM don't have the channels on the 'system' how can customers be paying for them?
Also I'd hardly say they are idiots. Bit harsh. Did you not see the thread linkingto an article showing how the VM network works. Its vey complicated and takes many people a lot of time to run.

The question is, Arthur, are you prepared to pay extra for these channels that you may not even watch? VM are trying to get good value for money for their customers. If you just want any channel that's going, no matter what, maybe Sky would be the solution for you.
Unfortunately, I gather that you also have issues with Sky.

Maybe the last UK Wide channel launch but "That's Solent" in some Southampton areas only and "That's Oxford" in some Oxford areas only are both set to launch on Virgin Channel 159 before 2015.
Cant wait to see where both ITV and Virgin Media will put ITV Be from October 8th as LG now own about 7% of ITV.

It's going to be interesting mate, there was once a whisper about a ITV movie channel but it appears that idea has died.
