Lets hope it does not go up Vince but there is always a catch somewhere along the line.

If the HD sub goes up so we are in line with SKY customers then it is a small price to pay for getting the remaining HD channels. Personally wouldn't bother me if it went up to around the £10 a month charge.

I think that is highly likely, MB. It would not make sense to launch them separately, unless there were technical issues.

You don't get owt for nowt, Den! However, as these negotiations have been a long time in coming, maybe VM have already factored in the increased cost of getting these channels.

i think its shocking though that sky sports is still so high. For £25 i'd expect all the channels, all in HD and a christmas card from murdoch. it is off putting the price.

I understand a lot of people do want HD channels and money isnt an object etc but i couldnt myself rationalise paying an extra ten quid just for the channels to be in HD.
