For non premium customers it is , but with VM a new customer taking XL and Sky Premium pays 49.95 + 7.00 x 12 = £133.95 , a Sky Customer pays 10.25 x 12 = £123.00 in year one , granted VM becomes cheaper in year 2 but we all know the discounts available from retentions :)

I'm comparing a VM XL Sky Premium Subscriber with a Sky+HD Sky World Subscriber. There are pluses for both Ie Sky has a far superior range of channels were VM include ESPN in XL for free , I was merely proving VM charges new customers more in year one for HD when taking Sky premium channels however VM becomes cheaper in the second year.

Yes this part is very true as you do not have to pay for repairs/activation in the second year and the years after that as well? The same as yourself you would need to pay the activation fee as you are on TV M if you do decide to come back.

I think you would be wrong - the content and layout has already been produced for the print edition, and there are no printing/distribution/shop owner profit costs.

Nice try, though....:D

Activation fee only applies to V+HD and TIVO boxes. V HD boxes now have free HD activation.

http://shop.virginmedia.com/digital-...top-boxes.html

Does anyone know why V+HD (£5 per month) costs more than TIVO (£3 per month) if you have M+ or L TV, yet XL TV customers have free V+ but still pay for TIVO?

Virgin does, what Virgin does You have no chance of working it out.

Still all suppliers do it at one time or another. I recall ASDA offering coffee at

£3 per jar or two for £7 !! It happens all the time. Pick what best for you. A better offer will always appear later:confused:
