That would be illegal (retail price maintenance). Presumably Virgin can get away with covering its costs as it sells other services to customers whilst Premier Sports has to make money on each sale so can't as it's a one-product company.

It totally agree, it sounds like an inverse version of Watchdog! I did think it a strange comment for Premier Sports to make for it must be in its interests for Virgin to charge less as it increases subscription numbers and presumably Premier Sports still get the same amount per subscriber.
