We didn't even know they were trying and it sounds like they are not stopping to try and get it... Glass half full people!!!!
I would take that article with a big pinch of salt, lord knows where BT would get anymore DTT bandwidth from and even if they could find some I would imagine their customers would prefer some other channels, notably SSP 3 & 4, ahead of an unproven channel that is yet to launch.

I don't think Sky could be any clearer, it is their exclusive much like when ITV plc said ITV2 HD was exclusive to Sky HD customers, and still is.
