You're double counting the sale options there. You can't then say they should have kept them for UHD content bartering, when you've skipped why they were sold in the first place.
Virgin Media used the sale of their channels to gain access to the content that everyone was asking for at the time they were sold:

In addition, Virgin Media will receive Sky 1, Sky Arts and VMtv's channel line-up, such as LIVING, Bravo and a soon-to-be-renamed Virgin 1, as part of a wholesale distribution agreement.
The cable operator will also have the option, for an incremental wholesale fee, to offer its subscribers a selection of Sky's basic HD channels, including Sky Sports HD 1, Sky Sports HD 2, and the Sky Movie HD channels.
