Sky don't want you to see the whole picture
Hello,
Let's face it. Things would be pretty boring if choice didn't exist. There'd be just one kind of airline to fly with.
One type of car to drive. And if Sky had their way, there'd only be one place to get TV.
We thought we'd let you in on a few details of what's been going on.
While we've continued to make Virgin Media channels like Living available to all Sky customers, Sky may remove Sky One, Two, Three, Sky News and Sky Sports News from Virgin Media – in order to force you into switching service.
This does not affect Sky Sports or Sky Movies.
We were willing to pay an increase in costs in order to give you a full range of Sky channels.
However, Sky have consistently made unrealistic demands on the price they expect us to pay.
We have refused to accept these demands, since it means we'd have to pass the price increases on to you, which would be simply unfair. We are not prepared to rip off our customers.
So Sky have picked up their ball and gone home.
Luckily, we don't think Sky's the limit.
We think the future's full of fresh entertainment and communication possibilities. And we're looking forward to bringing them to you. With all the freedom and choice you deserve.
We've recently launched Virgin Central, a revolutionary type of TV channel, where programmes start and stop when you say so. It's absolutely free for all of our TV customers. Due to Sky's technology restraints, we can't offer this channel to their subscribers, even if they'd let us.
Our digital TV service also comes with a giant collection of over 500 films, and thousands of music videos and TV shows – all at your beck and call.
We're not scared of competition, we welcome it.
