Virgin Media shouldn't have to pay for the SD Freeview/Freesat spin-off channels (5USA, 5Star, 5Spike, 5Select and Paramount Network) however a possible resolution to this is for Viacom to provide HD versions on an exclusive basis - they already have Paramount Network in HD.

All the Pay TV channels (Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr etc) would certainly be a loss to VM.

Hopefully this dispute will be resolved in a timely manner, if it hasn't already been.
