exactly ALL the Sky channels are of course owned by Sky and also all the Fox \ News Corp channels are part of Sky too, which I think includes all the Discovery Channels. That;s why VM can't get any VOD rights to a lot of Fox shows etc as Sky has them even though they can't use VOD.

HD is still a niche market too and VM just don't have the financial muscle that Sky have to run HD at a loss for a few years to get the subscribers
