Seems the more VM give for free, the more people want for free.
£7 is good value if you look at the bigger picture. Premium Sky HD has to be paid for, end of.

£7 is a good deal because Sky charge £10 per box and it seems that Virgin have had the Sky prices and charge per box imposed on them by SKy.
But is the way Sky charge for HD fair and reasonable, or are they making unfiar profit on it? I don't know the answer, but it would be nice to see it investigated. The charge per box quite rightly annoys everyone as it's not the norm compared with SD channels.
The trouble is, no one trusts Sky. Maybe an open investigation into how Sky works out it's charges for HD, both non premium and premium would help matters?
