You can't. Virgin is not free HD when the SD and HD variants of the SAME channel are not in the same bundles.
I would say the higher bundles are more expensive because they give more choice. You could just as easily argue that VM charge an additional fee for +1 channels. They charge more simply because, with the higher bundles, you have more choice.
