Quite correct, but it does become tiresome when many members can't even be bothered to attempt to type in sentences including using capital letters and full stops.:)

" XL TV customers will get the Sky Basic HD channels and they only way you will get Sports and Movies HD channels is by subscribing to the SD packages/bundles."

Thats pretty obvious though right?! I mean why would you get SSP1/2 and all the Movie HD channels, without subscribing for the SD?!

Great news, but I'm somewhat confused as to what warrants a VIP package. I have 3 STB's (2x V+HD and one VHD) XL tv package along with Sky Sports and Movies. I also have 20mb BB and Virgin phone.

Is this VIP, as I've added services over the years?

You'll get the additonal HD channels FREE on your deal my friend, if Big Reds info is accurate.

Great news if true, I look forward to the HD variants of the Movies & Sports channels as a subscriber of those in addition to the basic HD channels. :)

I phoned Virgin CS this morning. I have xl package with sports and movies. Was told I would automatically get sky HD sports and movies without having to pay or do anything they would just be added when available

Misleading information coming out of VM around prices for Sky HD Prem Channels

But I can confirm that a circulation has being issued to all VM employees and it states Price - £7 per HD Box (Optional i.e. if you have two HD boxes you do not have to take it out on both)

Sorry for any misleading I was 100% sure along with my insider these will be free to XL/VIP customers.

I'm trying to get a copy but the circulation but it has being read line by line by my insider.

I guess if there is any conflicting information within VM we will all know Monday.

He has since posted in the comments section that this might not be correct and to wait till Monday.

no he didnt

Big Red says....
"VIP customer will get ALL yes ALL HD channels from SKY at no extra cost - XL TV customers will get the Sky Basic HD channels and they only way you will get Sports and Movies HD channels is by subscribing to the SD packages/bundles.
"But I'm guessing that some of the rumours (Square eyes post) are true there will be a charge for these HD channels for M/M+ and L customers. Or simple terms upgrade to XL TV or VIP
"I fully expect us VIP customers to get ALL HD and future HD channels at no extra cost."
Which doesn't contradict what Square Eyes had heard but actually fits in with it. We'll know for sure next week. Thanks to "Big" and "Square" for their insight: always welcome and interesting news.
