Now that's the optimism l like rather then the pessimism l have been reading from certain posters this evening.

You have been asked over and over again today to provide evidence. Mine is the TV adverts, the VM magazine, BT's stated purpose of BT Sport and the fact that it's just not here after it's launch date. Pretty damned convincing I'd say.
Your (and others) ability to invent hope where there is none is fascinating to me.

Just think instead of wasting time here, you could join SKY and actually be watching the channels!

With regard to your point on the channels, you're spot on. Waiting for channels is so frustrating on VM.
But other factors play a part in which service provider is best for a particular person. For me, the loss of fast reliable fibre BB and the three recordable tuners plus other Tivo features makes me put up with the frustration of channel launches on VM, rather than move to Sky. And to be fair, there are very few non sports channels missing from VM these days; only Atlantic. And much as I would love to have it, I've kind of got used to not having it.

totally agree I was close to going to sky once on half price deal family didn't want to so glad there didn't would have lost to much going to sky just to gain a few more channels not worth it IMO

Can't argue with that. I was with Telewest / Virgin Media for about 8 years. I really enjoyed TiVo. This time last year I had no inkling that I would be moving to SKY. However my mind changed after 3 price increases in a year, and no significant new channels being added. As soon as I learned I could be getting more but paying less for me personally it was an easy decision. Oh and I'd not long purchased a 3D TV so SKY 3D become a must in my household.
Virgin in the past 8 months however have been making massive strides. Not too many of the significant HD channels missing at all.
