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.
This argument always amazes me. It's like people think they'd be able to get it cheaper if they just took the HD versions, when in reality they'd end up being charged the same. It's always going to cost more for the HD version than the SD, regardless of if you actually then get both. Think of it as paying for the HD version and then getting the SD thrown in for free.
