Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

They are still trying to convince 2.1 million customers to switch to TiVo. TiVo customers are still in the minority. Maybe they launch Horizon and target the non-Tivo customers first?

Certainly a idea chad,but can't see them wanting multiple boxes out there I would suspect over the coming months they will push TiVo more bud :)

Probably not but because it's now part of a multi-national corporation, Virgin may as well be UPC. :)

As I've said before, I've only got 4 months left on my half price SKY contract. If Virgin keep doing good things between now and then I can see myself making a return. SKY is a great service but Virgin is slowly becoming great value for money. I just hope they don't ruin it by raising prices by something silly like £6 per month.

I am starting to think that the fact vm are just a carrier and not a provider of channels it would work to vm advantage,this week it certain as and whilst bt and sky are fighting for content I think they will be fighting to get there services on vm

That's what I think too. Sky has things that BT want, BT have a new package that Sky want a better deal on. Whereas VM seems to have the best deal from all broadcasters.
