I find it incredible that people are saying Sky offer more HD channels for the £10 than Virgin for the £7. Virgin charges NO EXTRA for XL customers for any basic HD channels(included in Sky's chargeable package). Sky clearly is subsidising the premium channels by charging for HD. Sky want to destroy their competition so they can have a monopoly. They could charge what they liked then. Can't believe people are now threatening to go to Sky who started all this HD charging.
