It doesn't mean that there will be no change to the prices for that service.

like i said VM cant just turn round and say "we are now charging you for HD Channels on a subcription basis" it goes against the advertising campaign and VM would be in breach of contract.
the only way VM can increase prices is by offering more on the tv packages and then saying "due to increasing costs XX TV packages is increasing in price by £XX".
as VM have stated there will no change to the current channel listings so we will not loose anything we currently have that includes HD channels we get for no extra fee.
to be honest i dont expect to see much of a change in terms of extra channels other than the Sky HD Basics being added fof no extra cost just like we get Sky SD Basics included for no extra cost. the big change is going to be SKY Sports and movies premium packs as those will be getting the HD channels added to them as well as an altered price point.
remember for SKY and VM to get this deal both parties would need to have as little impact on customers as possible in terms of price or risk loosing customers especially VM with thier new HD customers.
