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! |
Nope only sky as it has the biggest customer base, that is why channel wilkl not go exculsive to virgin etc, i know itv done it but that was a agreemetn with freesat so they could gain some numbers. if a channel wants to launcht they need ot be on sky for advertising reasons.
livign wont launch on freesat or freeview it ecrpted channel
