As for VM being offered the content can you prove that, I can't believe you have swallowed that line. Sky advertised the channel months ahead of launch as exclusive. They even said in a press release the channel was to create a difference between the content they offer and other channels offer.

VM aren't 'heavily' in debt at all, that would be struggling to pay the bills. VM's total debt is more than sustainable now and they are generating considerable amounts of cash while paying their interest bill and are actively paying back their debt - read their results.
I didn't say that VM had been offered
this content I said that Sky have in the past offered to sell their content
via VM's platform and VM refused. By that I mean the same deal that TalkTalk TV have where Sky pay for access to the platform and the customer pays Sky.

Easy, they're happy for Sky to pay for the content and them to go crying to Ofcom if Sky won't sell it to them or charge too much for it.
