This makes good sense
as Virgin Media have a Massive Debt.


Living HD is only on Virgin media
this will mean it will join Sky's massive amount of over
30 HD channels.




Sign Of The Times.

SkyNews is second to none
Ch4 News is also at the Top.



Not a Fan (Infact the US FoxNews is Evil)
But I understand that for Virgin to stay in operation
they have to sell what they can.

Sky weather is atrocious. BBC weather is best. no comparison.

Sky Sports however is epic. BBC football is shocking.

Oh I don't have Sky so I'm not really bothered.

I like Virginmedia, but it's good the channels will be shared. I wish Virgin had Sky 1 though.
