As it appears that Sky were involved in the decision to make the channel a Sky exclusive, it looks like they have compromised and allowed the SD version onto VM.

I doubt that the HD variant will arrive for a very long time, if at all. Still, Sky actually compromising is unheard of
7 quid for a channel! unless they've got a LOT more content on there its nowhere near that amount.

silly boys
