Well it’s not a choice of one or the other - there’s space for more HD channels remaining anyway - even if a number of frequencies get moved to broadband.

Virgin should have now removed all SD boxes from the network so, should it be necessary in the future, there’s scope to remove a reasonable number of SD channels where HD & SD are in the same package anyway. All BT Sports and Sky Movies channels being obvious quick wins, Sky Sports potentially soon as they’re notifying their remaining SD customers of a £2 charge to go HD (not optional). Would also help tidy up the EPG.
