And.....our wallets?

Just wondering if there will be any additional charge to watch Sky Basic/Premium HD content on XL? I guess we'll know soon-ish.

Either way, you know that Sky will respond to whatever VM announce, probably on the same day. They did it to BT last week and when VM itself launched on V Day, Sky choose that same day to announce the launch of Picnic. Guess which event got more coverage in the press?

So, watch out everyone for Sky's counter-attack. In a sense its already begun, with Sky eager to remind everyone that to watch all 5 Sky Sports channels in HD, you need a satellite dish on the side of your house.
