The Ofcom decision regards Sky Sports 1 and 2. It contains nothing requiring Sky to sell every channel in their portfolio.

There was nothing stopping Virgin Media from purchasing content for themselves in this regard. If Virgin Media feel this is the case they are more than welcome to pursue Sky via the normal means.

Virgin Media evidently don't consider themselves too hard done by given that Sky charge for HD while Virgin are able to offer it for free.

Anyway we're going OT into a general Sky discussion which rarely ends constructively.
