Sky have every right to withhold Sky Atlantic from VM but doing so doesn't suggest that they are "happy to do business".
My bad i thought Sky Atlantic was on talktalk? Apologies for my mistake on that.

I agree VM may do the same with some of its content acquisitions. Ironically, VM has sold Red Rock from its TV3 subsidiary to the BBC and the series is now airing on BBC1 week days.
Personally i use a vpn with xfinity can't remember last time i used a uk sub service (no max not a submarine ).
VM certainly seem to be getting their act together i shall monitor their content gain with interest if they continue to improve i may even return to vm (yes Den you read it right ).
Imo SKY needs someone to take them on big time BT have already started doing this sports wise maybe VM will be the ones to do it content wise? only time will tell.
