Some might say there is little difference between not offering HD at all and offering it at a ridiculously high price.

As to the PL they are obviously complaining because their buddies at sky told them to. They seam to think there is a direct link between what sky can charge for their channels and the money they get where as, in reality sky will charge as much as they can get away with to maximise their profits and pay as little as they can for football rights. The PL need to remember that the only reason they got so much money last time was because of the competition of setanta and that one of these days sky may find they don't have any serious competition and could end up getting their PL matches at a knock down price which would have major implications for their finances.
