That is a totally different argument, I agree it isn't great when Sky (and UKTV for that matter, who owns 50%?) only provide some of their own channels to a particular platform. I am talking about content providers owning platforms. ITV and BBC do now. And VM do (for now).
Freesat and the Sky platform have an non discriminatory access policy and that is a fact, VM don't seem to although I accept it is a quite different infrastructure.

So that would explain its absence then , it isn't Sky's fault.
It's coming, we will just have to be a bit patient.
