Sky here i come for TV
 

Dont get me wrong Virgin have been fantastic with Broadband and Telephone so i am sticking with them for this service and thankyou for Virgin in doing this @ 2 for £20 with free calls unlimited excellent job

but the tv service needs a lot of improvement imo, i am joining sky for the tv and have negotiated a free Sky+ box as well

Thankyou Virgin you other services are awesome but Sky rules regarding television

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

Well done - you are making the decision that is best for you.

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

I know thanks i am not trying to be funny i just wish the tv service was upto the same standard as the phone and broadband and wanted to let people know that Virgin is far superior in the phone and broadband stakes

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

I just commend you for the rational approach you have taken, and have done what is best for you.

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

All the best, isn't it great that customers have choice today.

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

Im the same, I dont do brand loyalty, go with the best deal i say.:cool:

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

I might well join you, like you I have had excellent phone and Broadband for many years.
I swapped from Sky to VM 11 months ago and although I havn't had any bad problems all the little niggely things really add up. I know Sky isn't perfect but I don't remember having so many bugs with it. So unless VM do something special in the next month I think I will go back.

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

Did you get the letter through the door like I did saying free SKY+ box

Ring 08702 412 939 and quote SKY+ IAF

I must say I am very tempted

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

well I paid almost £200 for mine a couple of years ago, so it is a good deal.

is it the 160 version?

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

What's the 160 version?

It says you will save about £160 on Sky+ box and installation, is that what you mean

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

160gb version, versus the earlier 80gb box

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

I would switch to Sky if they didn't use the minidish. Horrible black thing! I am happy with my VM TV. But Sky needs to lower their prices for me to switch!

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

It doesn't say what model the Sky+ box is, probably be the 80gb version unless they arent made anymore.

Is Sky's monthly TV package a lot dearer than VM's ?

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

How did u manage that??? That is what I am waiting for!!!

Re: Sky here i come for TV
 

I think a lot of people are getting this, SKy's attempt to squeeze a few more subs from virgin.

Take advantage of it I say, nothing like 2 companies in a feud for saving $


which I guess proves that the pay tv market is pretty competetive dispite acusations of monopolies
