Why would Sky absorb the cost for vm? Plus Vm already has loads of deals in place for the ondemand they already offer these would all have to be renegotiated. In an ideal world your idea would be fantastic but this is Sky and Virgin were talking about, they hate each other.

Sky sports 1HD
Sky sports 2HD
Sky sports 3HD
Sky Movies 1-10 HD
Sky Arts

Seems like a choice I would splash the cash for. Although in the past VM have not wanted to take this stance, remeber them refusing Sky to sell its basic channels directly to VM customers.
But if it's less than what Sky charge i can't see Sky being happy at all with Virgin under cutting them on HD. Sky put up a fuss when Virgin used to offer Sky1 free to their medium pack customers and tried to insist it was only available to people paying for their top package.
