No. I don't think that will influence Sky at all. And Sky are fighting BT these days - Virgin Media is more a partner in the pay TV market for them, rather than a competitor. They each need the other.
The trade journal Broadcast reported on
Sky discussing Atlantic with VM back in June (it wasn't BomberAF who started that particular story) and there were reports in other trade press last year that Sky had decided to wholesale the channel to other carriers.
I'm hopeful we'll see it on VM within a month but I don't have any inside info on that other than that posted on CF by HowardMicks and BomberAF.
But you definitely won't see Sky channels in HD on BT, nor Sky1, Atlantic or any of the others, even in SD
