If they give the channels away to XL viewers on VM, it's hardly going to help them build the user base on their own platform.

As for losses, it's probably a loss leader anyway, to build interest in their own product.

Which is why I usually say timeshifted channels, although even that doesn't sound too wonderful.

But the problem is that there is only so much money swilling around and customers have a finite amount of money and whatever they do things l personally think it will fail in the medium to long run unless BT are prepared to subsidise it for many many years to come as a considerable loss leader.
