I'd imagine that is temporary until Sky can sell the channel (and its EPG slot on satellite) to someone else.

If you are complaining about the price and HD offerings wait a few more years and you will pay per program!
VM stated publicly that they have a fixed budget and target the resources where they think they can be stronger ie on demand and faster broadband. That doesn't mean excluding HD channels, as we've already seen, it just means things take longer - something we're used to on cable!

I'd imagine they'll be more of this shifting around on VM's epg to come with the demise of the Bravo channels, Sky 3 and possibly others. I'd expect to see Sky One much higher up VM's epg than what it currently is, for a start.
