Yeah, it probably does need beefing up, but, If they are not freebies, surely VM will have to charge extra anyway? Unless I am mistaken, Sky still charge £10 a month for all HD channels, with VM it bundled into the price of XL and the £7 premium for sports and movies. In theory, now we have the SS HD channels, we will still need to pay £3 extra a month to get all the missing HD channels alone.

I am happy to be proved wrong on this thought, but I fail to see why VM should take a loss to offer us something they probably need to pay for.

VM need to offer the best value to all its customers (not just Xl) and it is doing great things with the lower packages. I guess they just can't afford to give us anything with the current prices.

Not trying to picky (he says failing horribly), just trying to understand your thought process on this matter.
