Depends how much they want, really. It sort of ties in with my previous post. If, for example, ITV wanted £1 per month per subscriber for their HD channels, for Sky that £1 per month is all they'd need to pay as ITV were fronting the cost of uplinking the channels to the satellite. For VM it would cost them the £1 per month, plus however much it would cost them to add the channel to their system. This, I believe, is why VM go to such pains to negotiate a good price for channels as they have extra expense involved that Sky don't.
