Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
It depends really on the outcome of Sky Movies which was refereed to the competition commission.

What we really need is them to be forced into wholesaling Sky Movies HD as well, then there's no reason for them to withhold the other HD channels as they'd have lost exclusivity on the core premium channels, and Sky Sports 3 & 4 aren't really worth anything as exclusives.

Whilst it's still just Sky sports 1 and 2 HD they have to offer there's still more than enough there for them to withhold the rest. VM gain 2 HD channels, whilst Sky keep hold of the 10 movie channels, and Sky Sports 3 and 4. 12 more "premium" HD channels is a big selling point, whereas just 2 isn't.
