ITV have stated that they are looking at other income streams (like making most of their HD channels subscription only) because advertising revenue has declined. However, I doubt it will be a rival to the premium movie channels on offer, so maybe it will be FTA if it shows ITV1/ITV3 type films.
It'll be interesting to see what happens regarding itv over the next 12 months or so.
Channels set to launch on vm early 2014 (again rumours until they show up on EPG)
HistoryHD
NatgeowildHD
LifetimeHD
SkysportsnewsHD
SkynewsHD
bbc1+1 (yes this is happening)
News18
od service lovefilm
DisneyHD
DisneyxdHD
Channel4+HD
5later
Sky poker

plus i think vm will expand their on demand library greatly
expect the cbs channels to get the AMC branding too in some form.
I'm not even mentioning a certain Sky channel in my list.
