[QUOTE=Chad;35195590]There is maybe on 2 channels that Virgin can get that would be classed as premium that would go into an XXL package. MGM HD and ESPN America HD.

What people should really be asking is what do Virgin do with the £49 HD activation fee that they charge? Is this money invested into the current HD channels they have, or is this being held to invest in future HD channels? If people who are taking HD are paying £49 for the privilege, this money should be invested in their viewing pleasure.

Just my very humble opinion. Seeing HD is free on Virgin the £49 they charge must be used to keep the channels free?

You will find if you ever downgrade from XL to M that even free HD like ITV1 HD isn't free anymore even though you paid to have V+ installed/activated in the first place, in their defence they did explain that though.
