Yes, I doubt that they'd want to scrap 'Universal' as a channel brand.

It had crossed my mind that VM might have done a similar deal as BT to give VM customers access to Sky Atlantic via the Now TV app.
The trouble is, some people might downgrade to a lower pack as Now TV Entertainment also provides some of the pay channels that VM also supply.
If Amazon Prime arrives with the live channels included, then we will know that VM aren't too concerned about this and Sky Atlantic via the Now TV app could be a possibility. It would allow VM to say that SA was available on their platform and this would not cost them anything (in fact they are likely to receive a payment for adding the app).
Sky would be happy as it would make things easier for their Now TV customers and help to drive up subscriptions.
During the Sky Basics dispute, Sky wanted VM to allow them to sell their channels directly to VM customers, but VM were having none of it. Adding Now TV is a way of doing this and could benefit Sky at carriage renewal time; if their channels were ever removed again, they could simply encourage VM customers to get them back again by signing up to the VM Now TV app.
