That`s for the Premium channels provided by Sky,I`m talking about the `hidden within the bill `charge Virgin tag on. Sky are upfront about their HD charge but Virgin `hide` it in my opinion.

Though of course the real answer is "because they can". They set the prices at a level that they judge will maximise revenue, just like VM and every other company does.

I agree they both charge it because they can. I`d love to see people saying `no Sky/Virgin we wont pay this extra charge please cancel my HD channels`. They wont of course which is why they keep charging it!
