Obviously, the costs are taken account of by VM in some way, but I think they are still correct to say that they don't charge extra for HD channels.

I don't blame them, but what are VM doing to make those facilities available to us? And where is Lovefilm/Netflix? I like the direction that VM are taking us but it takes oh, so long!
I think the issue for VM with Lovefilm/Netflix is that it conflicts with their On Demand stuff. Ie currently you pay VM for a film, if they make Netflix/Love Film available as an app, there is nothing in it for them as all the revenue goes to those companies
