4.50GBP/week I guess would be both the cost of Sky Sports and the HD pack if you have neither already. As an incremental upgrade on top of SD it's actually pretty inexpensive.

You pay the monthly HD fee and that's it. It's pretty standard to pay an HD subscription for HD Pay TV, even if it's hidden inside an existing TV package's costs.

My apologies for the original mis-post. I just caught the advert on the television - and the implication was
upgrade to Sky Sports HD for £4.50 per week, which implied to me on the advert that it was an additional fee.
Having said that I see that they do offer BBC HD and C4 HD free (C4 HD only with a viewing card though). I'll assume that the pricing model for VM will be along similar lines - and a premium charged if you want full HD service.
Again - I ponder - all these people who clamour for HD - are they willing to pay, and I think the answer is no.
