UPDATE TO MY EARLIER POST RE SKY BASICS

This is the interesting (albeit brief) reply I got from the CEO's office earlier today. In case you didn't read my post I asked when VM said they have access to all Sky's basic HD channels does that mean the channels that were broadcasting at the time of the deal, or did it include future channel launches:-

Hi, the details are confidential I'm sorry. We are in negotiations over Atlantic though.

I read that as they do indeed have access to all the basic HD channels, if they can negotiate a price. Then again I could be totally wrong.

Previously they have just said it is confidential.
