I doubt that as they are FTA. Sky will get the standard fee for including the channels on their EPG.

Movie Mix aka More than Movies was axe from Sky early this year. |
I think m>m was replaced on Sky by True Crime, which is also on Freeview local multiplexes together with Kix. Interesting that those channels weren't included in the last batch of placeholders on VM.
As far as Movie Mix is concerned, I was saying that it is more mix than movies.

Yes, the NDTV streams are encrypted.
There's probably more need to verify the EPG details for a channel such as Fox News than additional channels from existing providers such as Sony & C5.

Don't the Phone in Adult channels goes under Tellyshopping?
If so the say channel will need to pay Virgin Media UK to get on network.[COLOR="Silver"]

There's quite a few additional adult subscription channels, largely of the pay per night variety. It used to be easy to check these when the Wildsat website was active. Since Wildsat closed it's not so easy to get a complete list, trawling through Sky listings on Lyngsat should provide the details but these channels tend to rebrand more often than Sky Movies, so not so easy to search without the current channel names.
Update: Check the encrypted channels in the 900's on Lyngsat's listing of Sky channels by channel number:

Babestation and its clones are funded from premium rate calls but wouldn't be appropriate for the shopping genre.

A mix of low budget movies, made for tv movies and the likes of Highway To Heaven, which certainly isn't a movie. Not really the sort of content I'd expect to find on the movie genre. General entertainment? ...perhaps.
(It was included in the Entertainment genre when it was carried on Sky.)
