I doubt there's anything to stop UKTV taking VM to court for, what they believe to be, reasonable terms to carry their channels.
They could argue that the new proposed deal was so unreasonable so as to constitute effectively forcing them off the platform.
The same thing could have been said about Sky not being able to be forced to supply their basic channels to VM.

Well, you are entitled to your view, Richard, but in my opinion, UKTV has nil justification for taking VM to court. Like I said, they cannot force VM to accept their channels onto their platform.
As for your continuing alarmist posts about VM capacity, you will eventually have to draw the conclusion that VM had everything in hand after all.
[Ie we need more space? Let's create some!]
What a wonderful plot for a drama!
