It just seems very inflexible given they are saying they cannot afford certain general HD channels which is surely what the XL pack should be all about. I would guess ESPN must get at least a few quid each month off every XL customer.
Just my opinion though.

But the history for this reads differently.
Setanta was added to XL at no extra charge for us.
Setanta went out of business, ESPN took over their content for most things.
ESPN continued where Setanta left off being part of the XL package still with no extra charge.
So how are we paying for it
OK if they made it a pay channel it would free up some money but who knows what the deal was and how much ?
Might be just enough for one extra HD channel and the lost of an HD channel from XL.......
