Seeing as the Cable infrastructure is a patchwork quilt of lots of different legacy technologies and which VM are spending huge amounts on to harmonise, I wouldn't be surprised if it was opened up in future to allow faster channel launches. However in its current state that simply isn't possible. Sky selling directly to VM customers wouldn't be any cheaper for us anyway and we would still be treated by contempt by sky without HD and red button.
