How is that got to do anything with Sky ?

Sky users could say the same for the free Setanta that VM offers. Does that not balance things out ?

Because they've also done the same to their customers.

The difference is that VM don't own Setanta, they came to a commercial agreement to offer their channels for free to XL subscribers, Sky could do the same thing.

Sky have had Sports Mix option for a while, its not like the old days when you could pick one channel. So I don't see how Sky done the same thing.

Maybe in a way its VM catching up with Sky it terms of if you want Sports you can have them all or nothing and at the new price.
