Hmm! Despite all my years as a member of this thread, I still don't see why a channel would hold off launching on one platform because they haven't yet signed agreements with another.
Given that Living HD is owned by VM and that they already have a barker channel in place on VM cable advertising the new service, there would surely have to be a better reason for holding back.
If they wanted to go for an all-platform launch, they'd have to wait for agreements to be signed with Sky, FreeSat and FreeView and then await the launch of the HD service on FreeeView too.
Even if it's a case of swapsies for a Sky HD channel they wouldn't need to wait to launch Living HD on VM cable since the counterpart Sky HD channel is already broadcasting on Sky satellite!
