Well VIP customers should wait and see what happens with the Sky HD pricing before being so unhappy maybe well get a nice little incentive to keep it.

I think we will get the same or similar content that is on Sky Anytime.

Well don`t then. If I bought my petrol at the same place I bought my car I would not expect it to be cheaper because I bought the biggest car they sold.  its an extra to the package you signed up to.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Why are you all trying to second-guess what Virgin are going to charge? Their campaign quite clearly states that HD is available at "no extra cost".
This quite simply means that XL subscribers who add (or have) Sky Sports and/or movies, will also get the HD versions "at no extra cost". 
So all in all - we're still getting a better deal than Sky's own customers!

I thought the moan was XL prices are not reduced ?

I racked my brains before making that post because I knew that I knew the reason from a long time ago but couldn't remember what it was.
I believe it is not so much that there are no EPG slots available but more that the older Sky boxes have reached their memory capacity and can't download a larger EPG.
Like yourself, I could be wrong on that though.

Indeed, and even cheaper if done via retentions.

The Irish authorities have yet to clear the Sky/VM deal. Until that is done, no prices can be released because there's no HD services to price - yet.
