saying all this i would of thought the ESPN America HD would of been automatically added to the ESPN package especially as VM have a special carrage contract. it strage the VM are either not bothered about carrying the channel or ESPN are insisting that ESPN America HD becomes a premium pay channel with VM.
How do we know that VM are not already in negotiations with ESPN? Infact I would say that they hae to be.

The same thing happened last year with ESPNHD, $KY announced the carriage deal but VM stayed silent until they suddenly trumped $KY by saying they have secured the deal to offer it free to XL. It could be that VM are working for the same thing.
