But I do think that this is what they should do, because only then can they compete on a more level playing field with their main competitors.

Why do they need to start their own channels to compete ? VM don't own their own channels nor do Talk Talk who I believe are the fastest growing TV service in the UK at the moment.
BT TV doesn't require you to have a satellite dish and its fibre coverage a prerequisite for the internet channels on BT TV now covers a greater footprint than that of VM with government funding its hoped this coverage could reach 90% of UK homes.
At the moment I agree their TV service is lacking quite a few key channels however I'm sure BT will add these going forward making a decent triple play offering.
