The subsidising argument can be used for pretty much anything on the XL package that you don't like. Think how unhappy customers who are on XL but don't have a HD TV must be subsidising all of the HD channels in their package that they never watch. These are the customers who are really getting it in the neck  Tough turnips to them though, bring on the HD!!!  |
Out of all the channels on XL pack (165?), I only ever watch 15, maybe 20 at most. Some of them probably only for one particular program. But most are channels only available on XL pack, but I'm not going to go asking VM to make up dozens of different packs so I can find one where I only pay for the 15 or 20 channels I want.
