VM could be trying their utmost, you don't know because the meetings are private. Getting no results doesn't mean a lack of trying. The suppliers might just not be prepared to give them offers that make business sense to VM, just because they're much smaller. They might be like "we've done a deal with the largest, we don't need the others, and certainly not on as good (for VM) terms".

True, it could be down to this.
If/when they go IPTV only, I bet they just provide the FTA channels and then let their customers arrange things directly with the streamers using VM BB.
