Because quite simply VM and Sky are not meant to be homogeneous substitutes.

I don't see how it impacts your or VM customers interests. There is nothing stopping a VM customer going to Sky if what they want is Sky channels from the day they are released.

Plus going by the figures of Sky's recent misadventures I doubt anyone could question the interests of 3.8m consumers being harmed on the basis of viewing figures in the thousands.
