If VM can get as many HD channels it can, Sky Atlantic (SD + HD), Premier Sports (both channels) and HBO conent on VOD, then it would be a better match towards Sky/BT

Yep, it would make them much stronger and would give Everything Everywhere infrastructure for 4G services which is why Vodafone is interested in Cable and Wireless Worldwide. MBNL partly used by 3 currently uses Virgin Media for certain services.
There has been talk that the Vodafone and C&W deal could flop, this would be a disaster for Vodafone as it is a key to remaining successul and a opportunity to expand into fixed line services and rather than depend on BT, it would rather compete and have less dependence on BT and other fixed line networks. As C&W Worldwide slowly recovers and if the deal falls through, it would be wise to integrate Thus.

But HD channels are a gimmick, I see very little difference between the SD and HD and most people would be satisfied with SD, as long as they can hear and see the channel, that's the most important thing.
As for Sky Atlantic, I think the content is not as good as they make out and think they should incorporate the whole channel with Sky1 or Sky2.
