I have been told that Virgin hope to launch Sky1 HD, Sky News HD, Sky Real Lives HD, Sky Arts 1 HD and Sky Arts 2 HD on Virgin TV in a few weeks, once the deal has been approved in Ireland.

My insider also thinks that for the Sky Movies and Sky Sports HD Channels viewers maybe charge extra if they want them.

But the Basics HD Channels may probably all end up on the XL Pack.

Cool.

I would think it would be a small charge very small to justify it to me £10 would be to too steep poss around £5.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
They would have to not charge for the basic Sky HD channels cause the 'Amazing HD, no extra monthly fee' would be a waste of money otherwise, maybe they will charge for the premium HD channels, this I can see as likely but the basic ones should definitely be free to XL customers. Or maybe they will just not charge any extra for any of the HD channels and Sky will drop it on their service, we just don't know yet.

I would expect the latter with sky dropping the £10 charge.

Seems crazy to me I thought with the sky sports wholesale reduction by Ofcom couldn't virgin just keep there prices the same to customers but not charge for HD.

If they were going to keep the same price as before, for sports channels and charge extra for HD, I can't see many paying for the uplift.

True, that's the main reason why I joined Lovefilm years ago.

It is not as simple as that as the agreement reached by OFCOM/Sky and BT/Virgin/Talk Talk is that until the appeal is over the difference goes into a holding account and the winning sides get the money at the end. If Sky win the appeal that is potentially a lot of money Virgin would lose.
