I honestly think that one of the reasons there are delays with the availability of HD channels on VM is their pricing structure. It is great that they are included for XL customers but I just can't see them being able to keep on adding lots of channels when they don't charge extra for them (if you are on XL which is the highest tier anyway).

Maybe that's why the UKTV channels are not on VM, who knows but there must be a good reason but I suppose we'll never know. A lot of the HD programmes on Good Food and Eden are BBC shows so maybe they want the best price for the channels and VM's pricing structure cannot afford it.
