Indeed and thus it won't happen and besides, with 4K (including HDR) channels set to hit the mainstream next year, VM need to have a careful think about where they see their platform heading and what they want to put on it.
I think it would be fair, certainly for new channels, that only HD channels were added from here on. Then consider about what to do about existing and missing channels, ie on my list, VM has a sd version of Boomerang but missing the HD version.
I think VM should consider replacing the more obscure SD channels with their HD versions, while keeping all versions of the main BBC, ITV, Sky etc channels on the platform for those that still don't have HD tellies.
But at some point VM need to stop "sweating their assets" and replace all old boxes.
Of course for those that have read the Netflix/streaming thread, you may already know my thoughts on where pay tv (and all its multitude of channels) are going in the next few years...
