I know that's what ITV planned, I just find it odd that they introduce a new, supposedly premium, channel and for the first year only show repeats.

Hopefully, the new stuff will coincide with the end of the exclusivity period with Sky and the channel will be launched on VM at that time.

Which raises the question, why would Sky fund a period of exclusivity for a channel only showing repeats? We don't know how long the channel will be exclusive to Sky. I suspect that it may extend further, into the period when ITV Encore starts showing original content.

That's not really a different point of view but a different scenario. If you choose to have a Now TV box in another location instead of adding a V HD box you aren't duplicating services at that location. If you can do that and save money and still get the services you require that is all well and good.
