The only reason VM will want it after today until 17 August is to provide an assurance to customer that the channels are available on the platform (or to stagger subscription processing, especially if it transpires that it will be sold as a standalone package).
VM will also know (but don't want to shout about) the unencrypted opening night on Freeview that many (most?) VM customers will have access to, meaning that most who want to really watch it will be able to do so.
New TV's will have Freeview tuners and many pay TV customers use Freeview on secondary sets in the home.

sorry wrong conference starts 10 august not all waiting for the rubbish premier. I like football but no time and space for those who destroyed the game in england.
Others have other interests and others sports may miss.
If vm think this way then its naive and stupid.
