there is no way it will be in xl and almost certainly won't get it in the sky sports package for the same price as sky will charge virgin a lot of money for it.

I am clinging to the hope that they are contractually obliged to have this channel available to as many people as possible. To my mind, xl is as close to hd pack as Virgin gets. I live in hope!
If you think about it logically, if they are doing this due to the backlash and that they will be launching a PTV channel on terrestrial then they have to show it on a separate channel. If it does come to VM, which I am sure it will, then I would be certain if you subscribe to Sky Sports 1 and 2 you will get it. If there is no Freeview channel then its anyones guess.
