(I think you meant "not funny", right?
) Anyway... of course they're so different. That's the idea

For me I only require 2-3 of the XL channels but yet I have to subscribe to the whole thing to get it.

Me too. In fact, I would think that that's the same for everyone; even thouse with "Sky World" (or whatever it's called now.) You think anyone has the time to watch 100s of channels?
I have barely enough time to watch the things I record off the half-dozen or so channels I regularly watch.

The best/fairest way would be for a company to come forward and charge on a per channel basis, but that business model will never happen because there are two main competitors (sky/virgin) that like their current package business models which they gain a lot of money from.

Channel carriage ain't cheap and my guess is that it would probably cost nearly as much as it does now for just half-dozen channels I regularly watch.

Of the 200 odd channels I probably have on XL I genuinely watch and record from perhaps 20 of them. Want Nickjunior for kids? Requires XL. No other method to get one channel from XL you want.

You're not wrong and it is annoying. Just not sure your way
would be cheaper.
