I'm presuming though, Ben, that there are seperate negotiations for seperate commodities.

Sky Movies and Sports

Sky Movies and Sports HD

Sky Basics

Sky Basics HD

And then channels like Bravo, V1 and Living????

Thats sai it was perfectly plain that Sky lost revenue from not allowing Sky 1 on VM and their shareholders and advertisers were in no way happy. This must have been partly a catalyst for Sky re-appearing on VM.

The same would be the case for Living etc.

Sky Sports and Movies are regulated so no negotiation is needed

The Virgin channels on Sky are up for negotiation as the same time as the Sky channel on Virgin

Virgin channels on Virgin probably have no negotiated agreement as they are the same company. the UKTV channels on Virgin again are probably a given

What would happen to the VOD content from living,bravo and virgin1 if the channels got sold? I use it a lot to catch up on stuff at weekends and after holidays.

Nothing would happen - it would still all be there

Not necessarily just because we get the channel it doesn't mean we automaticaly get the vod stuff (we don't get anything from skyplayer.)
Hope your right though (if they do sell to sky):erm:

Yes you would get the VoD stuff because Virgin would make sure that they got it as part of the sale - if they end up selling the channels.

That's not guaranteed although very likely.

According to some people we might be getting an HD announcement either once a week or every other week.

I have been told that we might get an new Channel announcement either once a week or every other week.

They are some SD Channels coming as well (I know they names but I cant tell anyone until Virgin do.)
