I agree with using it as leverage, but to get the Sky Basics surely they need just more then Living, their case would be much stronger with Bravo and Virgin 1 HD.

And surely the number of viewers does matter, if only a handful of people are watching the HD version would still make sense to keep paying for HD masters?
They wont get a part of the sub, that is at sky descretion who gets it, and do you really think there goign to give there biggest rival part of it or there chanenls emans they have compettion?
