Of course, I'm only speculating, but I don't think that VM think there would be enough takers, given that most of the sport that people are willing to pay for is on SS1 and 2.

You do make a good point.
Since I've had SKY, and all SKY Sports channels in HD, I'd have to guess that about 90% of the live action I've watched has been on SKY Sports 1 & 2. In fact I don't think I've watched a single thing on SKY Sports 4 HD in the past 12 months.
The boxing is on SKY Sports 2, Scotland Internationals tend to be on SKY Sports 2 and the Scottish Cup tends to be on SKY Sports 2. I do tend to watch tennis and have noticed that SKY shows the early rounds of tournaments on SKY Sports 3, but once you get to the latter stages their coverage switches to either SKY Sports 1 or 2.
Based on what I watch, SKY Sports 3 & 4 HD aren't that important at all.
