ESPN being included is a very unique selling point which SKY would NEVER think of offering their customers. ESPN HD is a valuable channel to me. If Virgin dropped it from XL and in return gave me ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD, ITV4 HD and SKY Atlantic HD in return I'd be well hacked off.

I'd prefer if Virgin dropped TV choice and music-on-demand from XL and offer more linear channels as I never watch anything other than catch-up TV. There's probably plenty of things that could be removed from XL to accommodate new channels.

The truth of the matter is, if Virgin aren't delivering the TV you want or expect then it's time to move to another supplier. I'd love access to all HD channels, and could go to SKY however Virgins overall TV experience to me outweighs what SKY has to offer.

I think this sums it all up pretty well!
