The press release seemed to mean all Sky basic channels. Access to and VM wanting to pay the asking price are two different things though!  |
Exactly.
It would appear from that Press Release that Atlantic isn't being withheld. Unless the press release was just hot air, which I doubt. Let's be clear, around the sae time they actually announced Sky Arts HD was launching, ago, it still hasn't.
That is my point. If VM's 'free HD' pricing structure isn't compatible with offering these types of channels it isn't Sky's fault. What's the point of negotiating access to them if you can't afford to? I like the pricing structure but I am well aware of it shortcomings though. For me it's great but I don't want Atlantic.
Their own customers are expected to pay extra for it, in HD at least.
I think it is simply too expensive, we are not talking about some mickey mouse channel here but again I am assuming.
