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?

I don't mind paying a few quid extra to get the channels I want, but like you, they are somewhere (seemingly randomly) between the L and XL package. Although sky may seem more expensive - it would work out cheaper for me (well, if I had a bt landline it would
) - cos the 2/4/6 mixes are only literally £2 or something difference between each! *sigh* I'm not no way in hell prepared to pay £66 a month for our 'entertainment'. so I guess we'll be going without...
