I'm not sure it's really a billing system issue, from a technical sense it wouldn't be difficult to create a package lower than TV M with just the PSB channels and then have everything else as an add on.

However, there is an assumption that it would be cheaper than VM's current packs - personally I would doubt that very much.

Virgin Media list TV XL as containing over 200 channels. Even at 200 that works out at 13p per channel based on the cost if you just have it on top of the landline. There is no way that having them as individual selections would work out that cheap.
