At least with Sky Comedy, it has opened up some of HBO's content on Virgin, but just not dramas, I hope this will be the same for Sky Documentaries.

VM has also been using LoveNature content for their Virgin Media Ultra HD channel, so I doubt it would be as straightforward as VM only getting LoveNature content via Sky in the future. And Blue Ant will get a larger cut dealing with VM direct than if a 3rd party redistributes their content, as obviously there are less people to pay. Sky would have to make it worthwhile Blue Ant changing that.
