I moved down from the VIP pack last month for a while but even when I start it again, there isn't a chance I'll be signing up for the extra HD. I don't watch the films so yes, it would be £7 for just two channels and if I only watch 2 matches a month....that's £3.50 per match extra. I don't think so.

But, as others have said...if you consider the extra £7 a charge for all HD then it does compare favourably to Skys charge of £10 per month.

I don't think you should blame Virgin though, I am sure they are either not making much on this or else it was insisted upon by Sky when the agreement was made. I am sure that Virgin are fully aware that their 'HD is Free' doesn't quite ring true anymore and has now compromised their advertising strap line.
