Yes, passingbat, but you have to work within the system. I don't agree with deals that result in programmes being exclusive to a particular audience, although channels could be exclusive if other providers could pick up the programmes.

However, given that Sky are keeping SA and (for the time being) ITV Encore as exclusive and BT now appears to have AMC, VM have to fight back or they will lose a big proportion of their customer base eventually.

When cable launched 'The Studio', the channel was exclusive but the films could be bought up by other film channels. I do think that this is acceptable practice.
