Another rumour - again take it with a pinch of salt as there is no official confirmation as yet.

I just received the following:

I hear that Virgin Media could introduce a £5 HD charge to those who don't have XLTV and want HD.

This will be so as people on M+ and above can receive channels such as SKY 1HD etc.
The channels will be relevant to the channels in their package.
