I must say that it does seem bizarre that this channel did not appear on VM from launch.

Keep the sun glasses handy: Virgin add more 3D
Virgin Media, the UK’s leading communications and entertainment company, is adding an array of new 3D titles to its TV service. From July, around 50 hours of 3D content, including stunning shows such as 3D Dive, Kalahari Meerkats and Monster Trucks will join Virgin Media’s On Demand line-up.

Again, this seems an odd decision to make as all the other broadcasters seem to be pulling out, winding down or suspending their 3D services.
Perhaps VM are hoping to capitalise on this and are aiming to be the platform of choice for the minority who want 3D? They may think that if all those who want it are mopped up from elsewhere, they will make a profit from 3D.
More likely, they are hoping that starting to cater for niche markets (eg foreign channels) will bring customers to their wider service.

I had also assumed that the FA Cup was one of the national sporting events protected from going exclusively onto pay TV, is this not the case?
