Unless Sky made that a condition within the contract agreed.

No-one has suggested that we will get the channel since the announcement about the new deal has been agreed.

The argument is about whether we will get the on demand content that will be available to BT.

I think we have all acknowledged that we are not getting the scheduled channel for the foreseeable future.

The channel is most likely to go under anyway with the launch of new streaming services.

Is that a double negative?

You are clearly hedging your bets!
The only way VM TV customers will get any SKY Atlantic content of any kind including on demand would be via a subscription of nowtv via a compatable device aka roku.
Even BTs agreement is going to be delivered via Nowtv on the BT Youview boxes but BT customers will be able to record Nowtv channels.
One does wonder if EE and Plusnet tv customers might get the same service further down the line.
