Nope. They go for a Freeview slot & everything else is optional. There are more local services on VM than there are carried by Sky, & carriage on Freesat is non-existant as the services must be encrypted due to rights issues with the non-local content that is output most of the day.

We are due to have local TV switched on via Freeview here in Hemel/St.Albans on Wednesday. Looks like it will be an extension to London Live. Will be interesting to see if they also appear on 159 here (Hemel headend), as they do on every headend inside the M25.
