From a business point of view you can hardly blame them though can you , after all they have invested a fair wedge of money in it.

Nope, and I'm not knocking them for it, it does make sense for them to do it. Once they feel that they have gained as many customers as they can from having it exclusive then they will make it available to other platforms.

To be fair VM are spot on at the CEO office they almost always reply and are usually as helpful as they can be unlike Sky's CEO who never reply.

I think you're probably right. It will appear eventually but not in the short term.
