£10 for 40 HD channels compared to £10 for 2 Sports Channels (I don't care about movies)

Hmmmmm.

i have to agree here its a big rip off !!!

i currently have the XL tv package but no Sky Sports or Sky Movies subcriptions. i would of been willing to pay for a Sky premium HD supscription (sports and movies in HD) without having to pay for the SD broadcasts as well. it just seems a waste of money to have to pay to recieve the SD channels before you get the option of having the HD channels.

it looks like VM missed a good thing here by forcing people subcribe to the Sky SD premium channels and waste money before allowing an option to have the HD premium content, afterall who wants to watch SD channels (unless you dont have a HD box and TV in wich case you would not subcribe to HD permium channels) if you have the HD channels available.
