Of course, it should be mentioned that Sky's negotiations with VM to invest in its new network may increase the likelihood of a VM getting a certain Sky channel. And I'm not talking about a shopping channel.

Given Quest Red is their 3rd highest rating FTA channel and Really their 2nd I can't see them axing Quest Red, I believe the shows are different even if the genre is the same.

I added Good Food below even though it's a Pay channel, as an interesting comparison.

Last month available's BARB ratings (July)
Good Food 0.10
Food Network 0.23
Home 0.27
DMAX 0.43
Quest Red 0.54
Really 0.68
Quest 0.91

VM are too greedy with their network they won't let anyone else on it if they was to let SKY in then it'd open the doors for others so won't happen.

Seeking to monetise your investment isn't greed. The cable network isn't a public good.

Letting Sky on wouldn't open the door to others - it'd be a commercial agreement like any other.

Thay are obviously both seeking a deal to put pressure on BT's Openreach.

Be interesting will be very expensive for SKY and VM one feels and we all know the result of that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)

According to the September Channel Guide, Amazon Prime Video (228) and Virgin TV Ultra HD (205) are swapping EPG positions.

Amazon Prime Video: 228 > 205
Virgin TV Ultra HD: 205 > 228

The other Virgin TV Ultra HD on 999 is no longer listed so may be getting removed.

Giving the VM UHD channel a less easy to remember number is just weird.
