Of course this is only speculation, but VM must be thinking of ways to recoup their out-lay for these channels, and the above doesn't seem inconceivable.

I trhink there will be a few HD channels available on M, L but the best ones will only be available to XL customers. So they will recoup there costs from the extra people upgrading to XL.
