I was merely responding to the post regarding a content owner also owing a platform. I hope that is ok?
How do you feel about UKTV (apparently) denying VM customers access to their HD channels that are 50% owned by VM? Big assumption on my part there. It could be all manner of reasons they choose to provide them exclusively to Sky HD customers.
And do any of us know as fact that Sky are actually denying access to Atlantic?, wouldn't it come under the umbrella of a basic channel that VM announced themselves they have access to, at the wholesale price?. It would appear it could be being withheld but what do we know. It could be down to cost, it could be all manner of reasons. I do not really know.
