I agree: they may (or may not) hold back the HD version for a few months but will need the 3.75m Virgin viewers to sell this to advertisers, especially as they're not charging Sky customers any extra for the channel.
It's telling that the Sky announcement mentioned that the new channels "will be channels worth paying for and will give even more customers reasons to choose pay TV". Not "Sky TV" - "pay TV". Daroch believes the enemy to be Freeview/Freesat, not Virgin Media.
A shame that Digital Spy can't report on a press release accurately.
