Yes, I remember the days when you could reorder channels etc. But it was stopped, they call it progress...

That doesn't answer why sports don't start on 501 though and believe me, I have tried to get a answer out of them. Well, in fact I did once, the answer was "we don't want to."
Unlike Sky, which is a open platform, VM have far more flexability in how they organise their channels. But yes, I am sure exisiting agreements with channel providers play a part, though.
