Win-win I guess!!<br /><br />A Tory government pleasing LibDems...Sky pleasing VM customers...god knows what is next!!! ;-)leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762100701796787636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-38652560059295917302010-06-04T17:16:52.123+01:002010-06-04T17:16:52.123+01:00There is no word yet as to larger discs for the V+...There is no word yet as to larger discs for the V+ or pricing/availability for the Sky HD channels.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was mysteriously missing from the new line-up whenever it gets announced.<br /><br />Also this is bad news from a monopoly standpoint. Murdoch now pretty much owns the entire pay TV market in the UK, and as he abuses that power at every possible opportunity this can only be bad news in the long run. What do VM have to bargain with in future when Sky decide on a whim to double/triple their prices?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567879847679385471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-76588584258211376352010-06-04T12:33:18.813+01:002010-06-04T12:33:18.813+01:00virgin1 => living2... sky4... or just kill it a...virgin1 => living2... sky4... or just kill it and make space for sky1 on freeview???BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226798706454737398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-39631047604634748302010-06-04T12:18:52.338+01:002010-06-04T12:18:52.338+01:00I guess the next big question is when? :)I guess the next big question is when? :)Krankorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964378735319492703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-42513676114863442432010-06-04T12:16:29.970+01:002010-06-04T12:16:29.970+01:00I'm still dancing my socks off!I'm still dancing my socks off!Krankorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964378735319492703noreply@blogger.com
