I wonder if the addition of My5 and MTV Classics to the VM platform are the stumbling blocks? Maybe VM want them thrown in at no extra cost and Viacom don't accept this?
Mum liked MTV classics and was royally annoyed then it was removed for more tat. Seems odd for viacom to try and fight over old music videos...
