Seriously?! You asked me how VM can get the channel, and I offer my suggestion.
It is clearly not a "basic" channel.
If you read my post properly you will see that I used the term "ridiculously high price" which £20 clearly is. My point for the £20 charge is that Sky see SA as a way of retaining/gaining subscriptions. If people do not wish to deal directly with Sky, then Sky could get roughly the same amount of money from VM customers as they would from new subscribers.
If it is such a "basic" channel why does no-one else have it? It is clearly a "basic" channel for Sky customers and a premium channel for non-Sky subscribers and as such no other suppliers can afford it.

No need to be humble with that opinion Den, it is quite clearly a premium channel to non-Sky subscribers.
