That maybe, but M and L customers can now take the HD channels for just £1 more than they were paying for the SD versions last month.

The price decrease on Sky Sports and Movies means that in relative terms HD is costing XL customers £6 more than L and M, so it might not be a VM money maker, but it's sure as hell a way for them to **** off their customers. If XL's pricing for premiums had been reduced in line with the other tiers then no one would be arguing a net increase of £1 for HD versions, instead we're getting the double shafting of a devalued TV package (especially those on VIP) with a nice bit increase if you want to watch in HD.
