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.

I think Mobes is right. It will come eventually. Sky will keep it exclusive to try and increase subscriber numbers. When they dry up so the amount of new subscribers is back to the 'usual' amount, they will then be more open to an agreement with other providers to further increase their revenue.
Also, I think it's up to VM to maximise Tivo's potential and start getting bigger and better exclusive VOD deals, to counteract Sky. At the end of the day VOD seems to be the future of TV.
