Thanks for the info. Could they in a sense be devaluing their top packages by making a load of channels available to everyone?

They are only available temporarily. In January they go back to being pay channels. Maybe think of it as a free sample, designed to lead to you wanting more.

Think of the XL pack as the HD channels and BT Sport pack.
Consideration is also being given to allowing non XL customers the choice of receiving the HD variants (where they exist) of the channels within their package. The current cost being mooted is £5 per month. |

I've seen information that this is precisely what the XL pack will eventually be marketed as.

But don't VM currently advertise both HD and bt as being 'free' with xl pack? If they remarked as xl being the HD/sport channel then they will need to add a lot of HD to justify that eg all sports channels,all movie channels and other sky channels..

![]() So instead of a frequency having 10 SD channels it can have 13, or 2 HD channels it could hold 3. |

We are still waiting on many of Meeja Boy's "exclusives" as well.
I'm not sure the magic of pulling channel names and random dates out the air gives anyone a right to the word "exclusive" other than in a tabloid newspaper sense. |

Media Boy, Asian Channels - not worth the effort listening to. I would rather hear stuff and announcements out of Virgin's horses mouth.
