Hopefully the day will come when HD is seen as the standard and we say say goodbye to the extra charges (sky premium channels) and not being able to get HD versions of SD channels.

HD as standard might not be as far away as once thought.

"The total number of high definition channels on Freeview will increase from four to 14 by the end of next year subject to regulatory approval from Ofcom."
What could these be, and will they be added to Virgins M package and above as standard?
If ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD and ITV4 HD form part of the 14 potential HD channels on Freeview, I'd guess when they launch next year that's when they will arrive on Virgin.
All speculation of course.
