To all these people who are saying Virgin are ripping them off over the £7 HD charge. The price quoted by OFCOM was £5.89 exc VAT, which will make the cost £7.07 when VAT goes to 20%. So how are they making anything out of that.

As for the SKY sports and movies channels SD packages, Virgin probably wouldnt give a toss if no-one took them, as they make next to nothing in profit for Virgin. Virgin just want to be able to use these channels as an enticement to people, so that they may choose Virgin over Sky.

If you dont like the price, DONT pay it.
