Please keep posts respectful. Each is allowed their own view without the need to make comments against why they may have made that view.

Removed Have you ever studied Murdoch's business empire and the dealings it has taken over the years, not to mention how it treated its workers? Quite unbelievable, I see now why we have elected this current government.

Provocative in what way? I think more a case of removed to stifle debate. What do people think Sky are doing now by raising the costs of Sky Sports to its own subscribers in an effort to get around Ofcoms ruling and cripple BT's business model? They are not playing Santa and they are not risk taking are they? NO! they are abusing their 85% dominance of the pay TV market. Some people's logic simply eludes me it really does.

I removed a comment directed at another poster that had nothing to do with sky or the discussion. The comment removed I considered to be provocative to the other member.

I am more than happy for the discussion in relation to sky, but please be respectful of other members views even if they are very opposing to yours.

If you wish to discuss this further, then feel free to PM me.

Virgin media has shown that they are also very good at stifling competition as they have gone running to OFCOM complaining about project Canvas.

As for Living TV etc, I can see a whole shake up with certain channels having their biggest shows moved to Sky 1, Supernatural, etc and some just being shut down.
