That would be the way to do it, I think -- a few quid extra for each of Sky HD Sports and Movies, but leave Sky1 HD and Sky Arts HD in the XL pack for free. People are already paying extra for the Sky packages so it won't be so hard to pay the extra extra. And VM still gets to add HD versions of existing XL channels without a price increase. Here's hoping.
(Actually, while we're hoping we may as well hope for free HD. I seriously think that the idea of HD being a premium/luxury is going to seem more and more outrageous as more people get big TVs and get sick of paying extra just for content that's not unwatchably low-res.)
