All their channels either come from a Satellite feed or DTT.

And who puts them on VM's network? Just because a channel has been uplinked to a satellite doesn't mean it's available on cable. VM's feeds may well come from a satellite feed but VM have to receive that feed, demultiplex it and then add it to one of their own multiplexes. That's quite a lot more than just agreeing a price.
