You're right, it isn't an issue for VM customers because, as you say, we get it anyway from the lowest package upwards. Non subscribers have to make do with the SD versions.

I wonder if VM pay anything for having the C5 HD variant, as, until very recently, Sky were subsidising the channel eg by letting it sit on one of their satellite transponders.
