With the move of more channels to the lower M+ Pack, I wonder what is in store for us on XL and higher ? - At the moment, it is starting to make sense to lower my package

That's what I'm wondering. All the channel traffic news seems to be one way - downwards.

Haha I wondered how long 2014 would last before the first rumours

Secondly yes the XL package is being downgraded a great deal at the moment with all the channels moving to m+. I think BT sports is the only thing keeping me on XL

XL package has BT Sport. I think VM are aiming to save passing the BT cost to consumers by making the lower packs more attractive meaning more customers. However these moves seem to bring Virgin line with Sky. Sky's EE pack contains every channel but HD and I believe is the same price as Virgins L.

And there are many people on the XL pack who have no interest in sport as well.

same here along with HD, Be Interesting to know if there are any plans in the pipeline to offer HD in other packages other than XL (excluding the FTA ones)

Nope it's not - it's £27 a month which is closer to XL.

TV L is the same price as Sky's bottom 'Entertainment' package

i dont even watch the hd channels either as i always forget to watch the hd equivalent! hopefully something nice is coming to the xl package to compensate for all this

XL is going to become VMs version of Skys HD pack, VIP will remain as it is.

I'd hate that. It kills off VM's "you dont pay extra for HD" slogan too? If there is nothing extra in XL other than HD versions then they've lost a unique marketing attack on sky.

Except that only really worked when Sky had a specific 'HD' fee, so VM could say you got HD with them for 'no additional fee'.

Now that Sky have got EE+ which along with HD includes other things, you can't make that comparison
