Without a shadow of a doubt XL-TV is easily the best value TV package VM do, M, M+ and L all have to pay £7pm for TV Choice, XL-TV gets it free, M, M+ and L pay 20p a song its free on XL and lastly XL gets four free ESPN channels.
I'm happy enough to have a pop at VM when they get it wrong, but in the case of the TV-XL package they certainly have not.
I mean what more do you think VM should add to XL for free?
I agree that the "basic" XL package is great value, but M/M+/L subscribers have had a substantial price cut for Sky's SD premium channels in the last couple of months, and now VIP customers are getting a £7/month discount for Sky's HD channels. Meanwhile XL TV subscribers have got zip. Even a token gesture of a £2/month drop in the Sky SD subscription post the OFCOM decision would've "softened the blow".

XL TV is a great package, but it isn't just VIP customers who have been hard done by over the past couple of months when compared to other VM customers.
