So Sky have boxes that cannot block FTA channels (only remove them from the EPG) so their customers just manually tune their boxes to access ITV. BT & all VM's other IPTV competitors use a hybrid Freeview based systems that can't avoid carrying ITV. If VM switch the service off they will be the odd one out, & will no doubt get a barrage of complaints from people with no other access to the channel. There are enough people that moan already about VM not carrying all the English BBC/ITV regions "like Sky do".
