The situation IS completely different. Sky hold very lucrative premium content and VMtv do not and never have, or shown any signs of wanting to.

I think most people will now accept what some of us accepted long ago that VM do not want a future in content, as per Berkett's statement in the press release.
Sorry, potentially ambiguous statement on my part, I wasn't intending to get into the nitty gritty of volume, quality and penetration of content ownership by Sky, I merely wanted to point out that there was VM the carrier and VMTV the broadcaster just as there is BSkyB the carrier and Sky the broadcaster (which all sound like Welsh professional names ).
