I was thinking of buying shares in SKY, it would only take me a million plus years to make a takeover bid, then we all could have SKY's HD channels :D

At least if it took you a million years to mount a takeover bid, At least your descendants would not need to worry about anything.:D

All we ever hear is VM are in 'talks' of new channels coming, they have so many talks, do they ever come out of the boardroom or the local cafe.

In the City of London, they normally have talks down the pub, by closing time the deal is done, with VM the doors are locked, come on VM move your butt.

All the basic sky HD channels were part of the deal, so vm does have access to them if it wants them. The fact they have not appeared means vm doesn't want to pay for them at the moment. The same goes for pretty much all other channels except Sky Atlantic and the missing Sky HD sports and film channels.
It's good to talk, as BT's adverts used to say, but money speaks louder than words. If vm want whatever channel on their platform, they have to pay for it. That's the reason, the only reason, why channels are missing.

I cannot never understand why VM won't put on more channels, as in the end its US that pays for them.

And if VM are worried about customers going to rivals, l cannot see that when l read comments on this forum - it should be our choice.

In the end it's the customers that pay for them

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

more channels means more cost ! hd at £49.95 one off cost bargin ! compare to sky at £ 10.50 for hd per month ! ok yeah they got more hd boo hoo so what ! and more channels boo hoo ! Virgin Media, free repairs etc, on demand is top notch ! free music for xl customers, loads of box sets and films and loads of kids and other stuff ! also dont loose picture in bad weather ! ive been with Virgin Media for a while and have broadabnd, phone xl tv and 3 multiroom boxes and never had a problem if i have then i call Virgin Media and its sorted straight away !
my main box broke down a few months ago i called Virgin next day it was repalced ! ( i was with sky for many years and they charged me £60.00 )

if want more hd then go to sky and pay for them !

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Wise choice then :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Clearly you never threatened to leave sky that`s why you was charged,Myself and many friends and family have all got boxes fixed/replaced at no charge !!!!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I left Sky to join Virgin this year, now they are trying to woo me back with half price subscription for 12 months.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

i did leave in the end after a while due to offering new customers stuff i didnt have as i asked i was told i couldnt have unless i was a new customer so told them to stuff it and left ! that was back in 2007 ! only had one offer of returning by a letter i recived the other day lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Not everyone likes that sort of confrontation though, with VM it's easy, they fix it/replace it for free, no bother :)
