    No they haven't bought VM. They have bought Virgin Media Television (VMtv) - the owner of channels including Living, Bravo and Challenge - from Virgin Media for up to £160 million.

    I currently have a sky+ box which i think is on it's way out. Rather than paying to get it fixed or get a refurb I was thinking about getting the sky hd offer. Is it possible to sign up for a year (paying the extra HD sub) and then if I cancelled the HD sub after the 12 months could I still use the box as I do a sky+ box and have all the sky+ features? Thanks

    No, once you cancel your sub you lose the Sky+ features. It will still function as a Freeview from Sky HD receiver though.

    If you only cancel the HD sub after the year and still have some sort of subscription, the box will work like a Sky+ box.

    I think you'll also keep the FTA HD channels, BBC & ITV. Maybe someone else can confirm this though.
