It's gotta be something to do with Sky not allowing Virgin to do if for cheap / free.

VMTV to become Living TV Group

Virgin Media Television is to be renamed Living TV Group after its sale to BSkyB was cleared by Republic of Ireland competition authorities.

This is a good point you get 43 HD channels on Sky. Plus they've had a lot more HD channels for a lot longer now.

I hope this £10 per box isn't true!! Not for XL customers anyhow.

I'm not! The discounted activation fee of £49 only applies to existing customers that keep their existing set top box for another room. Installation charges have not been added to the prices displayed on the website but if you look at the small print it says "Installation charges apply (starting from £35 for standard install and, subject to availability, from £15 for Quickstart self-install)."

Lets just hope the £10 fee is bull.

So the £10 (rumoured) is just for the premuim HD channels, Sky sports HD and Sky Movies HD.. Right??

I think, if there has to be an additional charge on top of the premium channel fees, it should be:

SS HD: No additional charge for XL, £1 for L and £2 For M(+)
SM HD: No additional charge for XL, £2.50 for L and £3.50 for M(+)
SS + SM HD: No additional charge for XL, £3 for L and £5 for M(+)
