A strange development for the Community Channel, it will be interesting to see how this develops.

Was the commercially produced content that you mentioned before produced by A&E? Are the promotions for the Community Channel or A&E/Blaze?
It is a surprising situation!

Re: Freesports, Fox News etc.
I wonder if VM could get away with pseudo adding these to the EPG by doing a BBC3? They wouldn't be showing these channels without authorisation, but simply pointing viewers to a publically available internet stream!
I don't think that ITV offer a live internet stream, so if they continue to demand retransmission fees perhaps VM could do a deal with tvPlayer??
Not that I'd want to encourage this as we wouldn't be able to record anything.
Edit: I can't find a live stream for Freesports, so if they don't offer this my idea wouldn't be possible (I've sent them a message to ask them).
