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.

I don't see how they could get away with charging any more for the XL pack. It's already over priced compared to Sky.
I pay £66 a month for XL +Sky Sports + Movies in HD.
A similar packing on Sky is £70 (including ESPN) but this includes so much more including all 5 sports channels in HD and many more other channels in both HD and SD and 3D!
As I never watch the old on demand stuff, it looks like I'm stuck with a second class TV service unless I move from my current flat where I'm not allowed a dish.
