Having watched the opening episodes of Boardwalk Empire, it would be a shame to only get it in on Virgin in SD, but it would be better than having to watch it by other means.

This would appear to be the case but as I always say that is just my opinion. I just wanted it cleared up that Sky are not actually withholding the channel, merely that VM cannot agree to terms, possibly on costs.
Given this is a very high end channel it cannot be cheap to provide, and let's remember we don't pay extra for basic HD on XL. Sky's own customers will of course be paying extra for it in HD.
