Maybe this is why VM have been reluctant to enter into any new carriage deals lately (apart from QVC which Malone has an interest in and minor channels for a niche audience).
In the long run this could be good for customers too, some channels that would not have been financially viable to carry may become so as well as other channels that could be picked up during an international deal that would otherwise not be carried in the UK.

Is this how H2 HD came about?
I seem to remember the channel launching on all of Liberty Global's Cable Networks? Which might explain why the UK didn't get the other missing channels like History HD at the time?
