I notice that during the launch, Richard had a pop at the way Sky bundle channels, so you end up spending more to get what you need..now, bearing that in mind..

I like watching the Discovery channels, which Virgin describe as "factual",so Size L looks like the one for me at first glance (I couldn't give a monkeys about the sports or movie channels).

Now someone who watches factual channels watches more than one of the same kind, right? Sky split them up into different "packs" so you have to buy more than you want.

Virgin are doing the same thing, to get ALL the discovery channels as well as other in the same vein like The History channel,The Biography Channel, National Geographic etc., you have to go up to the XL package! Isn't this the same thing that Richard accused Sky of unfairly doing?
