The Freeview-available channels don't get a cut of the subscription fee. The subscription also pays for rental/maintenance of the equipment, it's not all going toward channels.

Whilst I understand the ideas that packaging channels into groups is cheaper than paying for individual channels, my beef is that I have to pay for these which are on the whole are free through other sources.
This applies to both Sky & VM - I just want to be able to subscribe to Sky Sports and BT Sports which doesn't seem possible.
Now we all know how much these are deemed to be worth (through the discounts applied) this really should be possible.
It is also unfair that HD costs more for sports when it is free for movies - but that is another beef.
