You give HD for free, Sky charge £10.25, if Virginmedia had a HD fee then they would be able to afford the extra channels. It Virginmedias choice to offer HD inclusive in XLtv. If that leaves their pockets a bit short then blame VM's bean counters for making a bad decision.
This report has really given the customers good information.

If you had of read it you would see your "Sky withhold channels" argument you've been spouting out for years has just been blown out the water. 
Virgin customer have the right amount of content at the price point they pay, more premium content is out there but they may have to pay more. |
Sorry Telly but my pocket disagrees with your arguments.
I will be paying more for Sky Sports while not getting SS3, SS4, SSN and SF1 in HD. (Smallworld's owner says Virgin need to charge that much) I don't get HD for free, I pay for the XL pack and I pay £7 for just two HD Sky Sports channels.
It seems to me that I am paying through the nose for limited Sky content, I am sure things would be much worse without OFCOM.
