As for the other comment, well, if you don't think that Sky (or any DTV platform provider) won't pass on the increased costs of High definition creation and transit to the users, then you would certainly seem not to be a businessman.. Here's a clue: Businesses have to find a way of funding increased costs. If they don't, they go bankrupt. Usually the easiest way to fund those increased costs is to pass them along to the customer in some form.

Well, if the email above is anything to go by, it would appear that Virgin can and will in fact provide linear HD at no extra cost. But how can this be? For are they not a business? Perhaps the comments about being a "businessman" are far too sweeping and cannot be applied to all circumstances. But hey, what do I know.
