EXHIBIT NO.1    Press release of British Sky  Broadcasting  Group plc
                announcing Response to Ofcom Statement released on
                20 March 2007





                       BSkyB response to Ofcom statement

In response to Ofcom's announcement of a market investigation into the pay-TV
industry, a Sky spokesman said:

"The marketplace for entertainment and communications services is fiercely
competitive and changing fast. From the BBC to Google, BT to Apple and Vodafone
to Virgin Media amongst many others, customers have never had a broader set of
businesses competing for their time and custom.

"We note the references in Ofcom's statement to Sky's proposed pay-TV service on
the DTT platform and the dispute with Virgin Media regarding the availability of
Sky's basic channels.

"BT, Top Up TV and Setanta all have a commercial interest in preventing Sky from
increasing customer choice by developing a new pay-TV service on the DTT
platform.

"Recent events have also drawn attention to the fact that cable is a closed
network with substantial protections. In any market investigation, we'd expect
Ofcom to look at the physical and legal barriers and business practices that
shield Virgin Media from true competition and prevent consumers from enjoying
lower prices in broadband and telephony and greater innovation and choice in
television."
