Also we as taxpayers made an investment in BT which sky now have access to for their broadband offering without ever having made any investment themselves in the telephone network,or indeed laying their own lines.
I cannot have access to sky but after forking out a hefty amount a month i do not see why i should have to start to watch a cricket match,only for it to continue on red button with no access for me.
Sky have invested but they make no bones about using things others have invested in,glass houses and all that.

Think it was the ofcom pay tv enquirey which said sky sports 1 and 2 red button only.
Unless vm made a different deal at the time of the sale of their channels to sky.

Ofcom agreement was for Sky Sports HD1 & 2 access for fair price to VM, BT.
VM did a seperate deal (as part of the VMtv sale) with Sky for Sky Movies HD, Sky1HD, Sky Arts HD1 & 2, the then Sky Real Lives HD channels and red button access to Sky Sports.

I appreciate VM need to make some profit on each SS sub but we VM customers effectively pay more or less the same as Sky Customers for an inferior service.

This is what VM believe too. The launch of red button will close that gap somewhat.
