Problem with this statement is that it is free to all Sky Subscribers till September IIRC.
Then, I have read, it will go into the variety pack.
Therefore Sky are not positioning it as a premium channel like moveis etc but part of their standard channels.
It could almost be right to concider it a basic channel like Sky 1 etc.
Why then should Virgin help pick up the tab on a channel that Sky will not charge its own customers for at all if included in a current package.
I say wait till Sky come back begging for any crumbs Virgin are willing to pay for what appears from viewing figures to be a channel even their own customers arn't watching
