If this is the case does anyone have any idea how much VM would charge? That may be the answer why those two channels may not come to VM.

Some channels do pay to be on the platform (like shopping channels), some are cost neutral (like the BBC channels) and some get paid to be on there (like Discovery).
Details of any arrangements and amounts involved are unlikely to be publicised due to their commercially sensitive nature.
I too am surprised that TruTv isn't on the platform, it was (is?) testing on the system and negotiations for carriage did take place and negotiations took place for Spike too.
Not heard anything since.
