Well, they are prepared to pay! Just not a ludicrous price.

You don't normally have to utilise a barter system to get the service you want. Adding VM viewers would help to make the channel viable through increased subscription money and advertising.

I have said it before, as they are hogging the content as exclusive to the channel, they should make the channel freely available at a wholesale price.

Sky might think that the channel attracts subscribers because SA is a unique selling point, but they have not taken into account the number of people who are totally turned off by their attitude and practices and would not touch Sky with a barge pole if they can help it.

A more civilised approach to business might well win them more customers.
