You certainly well did - You stated I qualified for Freeview. Thus one can only interpret that as you meaning Virgin Media has less than or equal channel amount to Freeview.

As if you never go over the top with your loving relationship with your beloved Sky.

It really would suit your anti-VM agenda wouldn't it if I really was. But I ain't so sorry to upset you on that one.

Again - it was 4 channels - It was no loss - I never watched them when I had them so I am hardly going to miss them when they are gone.

I am actually paying less than I was a year ago and I now have a V+ box as well. You see updating the bundle offers that new customers get means I can save a packet.

I'll tell you why you didn't respond, you didn't respond because you were replying selectively. It's a complete cop out that you didn't reply when you claimed you had no baseline to make any kind judgement. You had no baseline to come out and say I qualified for Freeview, you made that statement! So you do reply when it suits your agenda.

Re: Virgin Media in talks over bringing back Sky

I think l've worn my keyboard out on this business, but l think the final season of Sky v Vm is; VM 0, Sky I, l don't think anyone can beat Sky, they have so much to offer, than VM, BUT, the V+ box of VM is better quality than Sky+. and cheaper.

Re: Virgin Media in talks over bringing back Sky

? why is it ? you get less channels with freesat then if you buy a Sky receiver & mini dish (or any FTA receiver) for less money & they use the same satellites.

Ask me if I am bothered, does my face look bothered? Am I even bothered? No. The bottom line is that you cannot accept the fact that I rip your arguments to shreds, because you have such a flawed approach to every debate.

You didn't humiliate me because I don't feel humiliated, so how you can humiliate someone else, I'll never know.
