You don’t know the contracts that are in place with other providers - e.g an exclusivity premium or when they have been paid up to on that basis if it does exist.
The fact Virgin have introduced less popular HD channels in terms of rating, but Gold remains unavailable, points to other factors. Virgin could launch Gold HD tomorrow if it was the network that was the restriction.
