Agreed, I have never sat in Sky strategy meeting, I don't even know where Sky HQ is but what do you know about Sky that I don't...

- They are a business that wants to maximise profits
- They are the largest pay TV provider in the UK
- They have been the focus of a number if investigations over recent years
- Sky were generally considered to have 'lost' the Sky/MV dispute and ended up putting their channels back onto VM at a lower price that was asked for at the start of the dispute
- Currently all SD channels (apart from Sky3+1, Sky Travel and Sky Vegas) are available on the VM platform (may be wrong on that one)

Again, it's not about suiting myself or having my hopes dashed - I personally have no preference for this, if there is a TV show I like I download it - makes no difference to me if VM get it or not. My issue was the assumption that it won't be on VM when you are not able to back it up with evidence.

Sky themselves are not stating it as an exclusive channel, in fact the only place that is saying it is an exclusive channel is Digital Spy and their quality of journalism leaves a lot to be desired. (Click Me)

Anyways, it's getting late, I have to sort the kitchen out, fill the dishwasher and put a new duvet cover on the bed so I bid you a good evening.
