Re: HD Channels Question

What's going on there then?
Because they mostly market HD in a way that requires XL, kerching!, much like you only get V+ at no extra charge if you have XL. Much like Tivo is only £3 on XL but (I think) will cost £8 if you're not.

XL is still great value but quite restrictive, in my opinion. Currently only 4 of the HD channels are exclusively in the XL pack anyway and that's made up of ESPN, FX, Nat Geo and MTVN but of course that is a pure HD channel.

Good grief Carlos that post almost sounds like you are criticising VM, are you OK!
