Both are unencrypted on the TV XL pack if that helps.

The CEO of Zee TV once said that Zee Cafe was only available on Sky as a bonus channel because:

-The carriage costs were cheaper on Sky than VM

and

-They make more money from Sky subscribers than they do from VM subscribers.

Something must have changed, perhaps VM have taken on board my suggestions to attract niche channels that could not normally afford to join the platform. Even if VM don't make much/any money from carriage fees, it strenghtens their offering and attracts new customers. They probably couldn't do this before when capacity was scarce.
