I'm guessing that Sky must have offered a tasty deal on costs to get the UKTV HD channels exclusively on Sky, just a guess though.

I know a lot of posters bang on about Sky not providing all their HD channels to VM, at least Sky provide all their own or part owned channels to their own customers, unlike VM!

VM and BBC Worldwide both own 50% of UKTV, I have never read anywhere that VM are junior or even silent partners. It has been rumoured that VM would like to sell their share though.
