Question is how long can virgin give the hd channels for free as part of the xl package? Surely they have to start charging for them sooner or later to cover costs?

virgin probably aren't paying much of a premium for them, also they are increasing the cost of the subscription by £4 i believe.

Yes that is a good question. It could be that is why they are taking so long to negotiate deals, with nothing announced until the ink is drying on the paper. It might be that they will never charge for HD, with the exception of the Sky channels, if they ever manage to get them.

In the press statement they did say there would be more launches announced. So it sounds as if things are moving faster now so sooner rather than later sounds like the order of the day.

well the press release today says....

Quote:
"We're adding several more HD channels in the coming months, which we will make available to our XL TV customers for no extra monthly fee."
personally I can only see a charge if the Sky HD channels come on board and would guess that would be a seperate charge to the other HD channels.

In other words, you only pay the extra if you take Sky HD premium channels on top of the XL pack... Sky1 HD and Sky Arts HD etc could be another matter though.. we'll have to wait and see what happens... looking good HD wise though :)
