Insight held carriage negotiations with VM to bring their service via VOD about a year(?) ago, so i'm assuming that a deal couldn't be reached.
Now that their HD channel has closed on Sky, I'm not sure if this will mean they will try to increase their reach with their 4K streaming service, or if this means that the money is running out and that they have been forced to pull the HD channel. It was encrypted, but free, so probably wasn't in the Sky Sub Club and was totally reliant on advertising revenue.
