You probably cannot have these things both ways, XL is great value but HD is restricted because of the pricing structure but hopefully they can strike a deal but I would guess they would have more mainstream priorities ahead of an american sports channel, same applies to the Arts channels I sought in HD, I concluded there are other channels that would please more people than providing those I guess.
I'd willingly pay a bit more for ESPN America HD.
