Re: ITV threaten to blackout on Virgin
I don't know how popular the ITV offshoots are, but personally, in our household, we only ever watch the main channel, ITV 3 and ITV Encore.
If VM can access the main ITV channel from alternative feeds , then that is what they should do, in my opinion. I don't care for myself whether ITV is on the VM EPG or not as I can receive it through my aerial, and I have a DVD recorder, but I know that a proportion of viewers can only receive the channel by way of cable, which is why I hope that VM win this ridiculous fight.
ITV is not the channel it once was, and I would have thought it would be well advised not to put in place measures that would antagonise people and lead to a reduced audience.
