Setanta wasn't free to XL customers with the Sky SPorts package, it was £10 independently of the fees for Sky Sports and as part of the £10 package you got NASN which became ESPN America.

The price didn't change once Setanta went into admin and ceased broadcasting in the UK so it is safe to say VM don't see the loss of Setanta as worthy of a price reduction so ESPN America rebranding to ESPN will not result in a price reduction or ESPN being free to XL customers and/or Sky Sports subscribers.
