Haha long shot i know
Sky sports news hd will be good. No point in sky withholding sky news hd either as we already have bbc news in hd

I do honestly think Sky should reduce the HD charge on VM if they want to deal with the competition from BT. I know BT currently offer less channels / content but you get SD & HD all in for £15.
On Sky, Sky Sports Collection is £22 plus £5.25 if you want HD (£27.25 for both SD & HD). On VM it's £27.25 for just the SD and then an extra £7 if you want HD (£34.25 in total). So it costs approx. 25% extra on VM.
I think they'd probably see an increase in the number of subscribers to the Sky Sports Collection on VM if they removed the HD charge or at least dropped it to say £3 to bring the price in at around £30 all in.
I do subscribe for a month here and there but would definitely consider keeping it more often if it was less than £30 per month including HD.
However, I appreciate it's unlikely to happen but the more the price keeps going up, the more people are going to start cancelling.
