Lets be dead clear, whilst they have 29 HD channels in total 12 attract a fee and 5 are non subscription channels. They only carry 12 inclusive pay channels in XL which is great but I just don't see that massively increasing anytime soon if they stick to their pricing model.

We'll see.
They made a pledge to offer more HD inclusive earlier this year, so I can't see them stopping the XL inclusive HD. The price rise will help fund them too .
