Adding ITV 2, 3 and 4 to XL only...having 6 channels in all packs and all the HD in XL, sorry, but you're paying to get HD now on Virgin too.
I've got both Sky+ (everything) and Virgin Tivo (M+) - Virgin is getting its future marketing appeal so very very wrong right now.

Virgin can still market the fact that they give HD for free. The XL pack contains about 60+ extra channels than the L pack only about a third of which are HD. You also get some HD channels with M+ and L too. So whichever TV pack you choose, you get HD channels for no additional cost to that pack.
If you wish to have a wider channel selection which includes more HD then yes you do have to pay more for the XL pack but you do not (with the exception of Sky Premium HD) have to pay any additional fee solely for HD.
I'm sure this argument will run and run as everyone has differing opinions but if VM were falsely advertising free HD then I'm sure the ASA would have come knocking long before now!
