Why download some of me?

Because at the current time there is no legal, definitive, up-to-date movie download service in the UK

or paranoid! i work for ntl so am usually backing their corner, but realistically ntl or vm wont have the resources to threaten sky for a long time IMO.
ntl have had serious cash problems not so long ago and i would suspect still hasnt put that behind it yet, whereas sky has been the main provider of multiple tv channels for years, has built up a massive bank balance as seen with the itv buyout.

i think sky tv will always be superior to cable, but ntl bbi will always be better than what sky can offer, i would have thought there is more money to be made from tv than broadband. so unless vm can compete on price, which is hard when sky own most of the major channels they arnt going to pose a major threat
