Virgin Media Charging for Free Sky Sports HD

Hi,
I recently lost Sky Sports HD channels with my Virgin Media TV and a letter advising that I now needed to pay £7 extra per month to receive them.
It turns out when I signed up I was put on a free trial of Sky Sports HD. This wasn't mentioned when I signed up, nor was there an entry on my bill to say so.
Does Virgin Media now asking me to pay for it break the Law and as not being told about it could be deemed as unsolicited goods?
Kind Regards
Adam

How long was the free trial for ??0

No law being broken - they gave and they took it away at the end of the promotion.0

The trial lasted for 3 months. The point I'm making is that I was not notified I had sky sports HD as a trial. Previously, free/trials appeared as such on my bill but there was nothing to indicate I was getting Sky Sports HD free or as a trial/incentive, leading me to believe it was part of my package.0
