A lot of cable customers give Sky loads of money through sports , movies and Hd but that appears to be not enough for them. Like every company they want to be a monopoly and they have got enough politicians in their pocket to make sure nobody opposes them.

I pretty much agree with all that, especially with the ConDems in power. Sky will more than likely be able to do what they want. But Sky and it's rabid owners are 1st and foremost businessmen. They need reveniew and as they know from the Sky1 VM debacle they can't really do without OUR money as well as Sky customer money.
I still think it will come in time. Lets be fair to some extent. It's a Sky channel, why wouldn't they make it just available to Sky as a carrot for them to munch on for a bit. Afterall Virgin did it with Living HD.
