plus we didnt get ESPN added they just replaced Satanta so using ESPN as an example is void. i do agree we got HD channels but so did the L TV package although not as many.
the point is Channels keep appearing on L TV that were XL TV exclusive and until anything is announced doing so devalues the XL TV package.

ESPN replaced setanta yes (which is why I mentioned setanta) but what did Setanta replace? People will say sky basics.. but now both of them are there? That is a huge amount of value right there for XL seeing as the channels cost up to £10 alone.
The point is you can't really say it's devalued when things are moved down, without also saying it's value has risen when things are added. It all evens out to the point that XL still holds considerable more value than L. Infact I'd say that XL today is worth far more over L than the XL of 3 years ago.
Annual price increases generally have nothing to do with added content and everything to do with inflation.
