Sky Channels Ad threat for Virgin Media

Thanks for the article Mick - interesting reading.

The heat between BSkyB and Virgin Media, over Sky channels, got turned up a notch today. According to The Guardian, Sky have began broadcasting their own ads on channels such as Sky One, warning Virgin Media punters that Sky’s basic channels could be revoked from the cable network. In an advert aired on Sky One last night, the ad apparently advises the rebranded cable groups customers to call its customer service line to lobby against Sky’s withdrawal of its basic channels.

Something seriously needs to be done to try and stop Sky, this isn't fair, and since Sky One is a major channel airing popular shows such as 24 & Lost, this is getting pretty out of hand.

Even though there are other ways of watching these programs without the need of Sky One, major people don't know or don't have access to this so it may cause some major problems for VM customers who have signed a 12 month contract to be able to watch Sky One.

I found it funny though that Virgin Media are "shocked".
