What additional charge for TV would BT, Sky, ..... levy on top of their landline charge?

I can't agree with you. Taking broadband as the case in point:
1/
BT: By definition, BT broadband prices must assume a phone line. No way round that and no deception.
2/
SKY: You can take move your telephone to SKY and then their 10 mbps service is £5; without their phone it's £10. Their web site panel is clear and unambiguous.
3/
Virgin: Unless I've missed something in their checkout basket, you are forced to take their telephone if you take either their cable broadband or TV. You are told there is no need to retain your BT line; but VM don't provide any services via the BT line like BT and SKY do.
So, unless there's some method I've not discovered for not taking a VM phone line with BB, there's no valid comparison with other broadband providers.
