So if they lose the appeal, could this mean that Virgin would be in a better bargaining position to carry Atlantic, plus the other 2 Sports channels in HD?

They have to wait for any redactions from all parties in the ruling and also if they need any more evidence?

The ruling has been published. Have I read it correctly in thinking that Sky have won their appeal or am I just being dumb ? (I must admit I did skim through it quite quickly lol)

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 
No I think you're right. But doesn't it just mean the appeal is allowed? Or have they won? And what does that mean regarding VM users of Sky Sports & movies HD?

Way I read it is that when OFCOM finally make their ruling, SKY are allowed to appeal against it. Which means that VM customers will be screwed over and over again.
