Your implication that F1 HD is not on VM because of Sky has no backing. It is plausible, as in the example of ITV HD channels, that VM simply don't wish to carry the F1 HD channel.
It just seems like blaming Sky here is a convenient way to side step the issue that VM customers should take it up with VM why they don't get this channel.

It's far more commercially viable for VM to have F1 in HD, than it is to have ITV channels. They can earn money from F1 HD, but the ITV channels won't make much of a difference to most peoples decision to choose VM over Sky.
I'm not blaming anyone. I quite clearly explained that it is an understandable business decision made by Sky to keep the HD version exclusive to them until many people who insist on HD have signed up to them. I presume this is a similar situation to Sky Atlantic. This is absolutely nothing to do with the ITV channels. If you want them in HD so badly, then go on the VM forums, and ask.
