The channels available to Sky customers are not neccasarily provided by Sky. Lots of channels pay a third party (ntl, BT, Globecast for examples) to put them up on the satellites, then the channels pay Sky for an epg listing and encryption if wanted.
On the other hand, ntl have to buy and maintain all equipment required to recieve and pass on to the customers each and every channel.
Not quite as straightforward as you seem to think.
