Yeh, right. My heart bleeds for sports fans on XL!
But your premise is wrong anyway. How many posts have you seen from sports fans insisting that HD is the only way to watch sport? A lot is the answer. And if they like HD for sports, it's a safe bet that they would like HD for other non sports channels
Personally I don't watch sports, but the addition of BT sports FOC on XL was a good thing in my view, as it makes VM XL TV a very attractive proposition and will help VM add/retain customers.
We have done well with the massive increase in HD channels, so that has added value to XL. For us non-sports fans, Sky Atlantic would be the obvious addition to equal out the free premium sports on XL.

I see no reason why VM couldn't do a deal just for the channel and not include the On Demand content. That would work for me.
