I was looking through the listings on skysports.com for live football, and it seems we have no worries about "important matches" (no offence to any fans at all ; but my lot are on twice before end of september so :PP:).
So hopefully Sky aren't gonna pull any dirty tricks after September, here's hoping :tu:

We signed up, and happy with it so far. Just finished watching The Terminator 2 and it was awesome quality.

Not happy in terms of cost, as we are on the VIP which is was designed to provide everything. However going by the big thread on it there might be some changes made to the VIP Plans. I am out of the 12 months for VM, so not too worried for now.

You are always safer and better off looking at the Sky Sports site really, saves confusion. I doubt Virgin would have not ignored the possibility of Sky putting bigger events such as footie on the 3/4 channels. I reckon they will have ensured in the contract that them tactics would not be used.

Ofcom have warned Sky on this... if they do ignore them, then they will make SS3/4 HD part of the "must offer" to VM

I just did my upgrade online and got the message that someone would call to confirm upgrade then i got a e mail saying the upgrade has been passed so just waitting for them to go on now so hope it wont be too long.

Hi

I ordered HD package + Sky Sports to be added to my present lot, Sky Movies etc two weeks ago and sports started straight away.
Come yesterday I still could not get Sky HD so a quick phone call sorted that out.
Whilst on the phone I mentioned rumour of extra charges coming in October and lack of difference between XL + L.
The lady said she could not comment on any future possible increases but hinted that XL was to be reviewed soon.

Without wishing the summer away I can't wait till Sept / Oct to see what will happen next.

Regards

:welcome: to the forum btw :waving:

Actually I would like it to be filled - with the Sky HD Channels - by VM.
It's now August 3rd and instead of watching Sky Sports and Movies in HD I'm still looking at "You haven't subscribed to this channel yet. but getting it is easy."

Weii, I have and it isn't.
