Thanks for clearing that up, maybe you should tell Mr Berkett to stop wasting his time then.

I'm still not clear why the regulator would look into Sky's dominant position specifically in reference to VM. Sure the position is dominant but why should VM be protected when VM are going ahead and selling Sky its channels anyway.
You make a very good point about VM selling their channels, of course they didn't have to.

What I think might be useful is if Sky did indeed enter an agreement (as they seem to have with VM, no one for sure knows though if this included future channel launches) where they agree access to all of their basic HD channels is that they are not circumventing such agreements by pricing them unreasonably and again I am speculating on whether that has happenned too, there could be all manner of reasons why certain channels are not available on VM, I really do not know. No one on here does.
