I'd have probably accepted this as a fair deal before but as it keeps vein repeated people on m deals now pay a quid extra than before to get sky sports and the hd versions. Not fair whatsoever on xl or VIP customers in this instance and this has to be universally agreed upon

Has been changed

SORRY GUYS! WE MAY NOT GET SKY SPORTS NEWS HD AFTERALL.

It is likely that Virgin Media subscribers will also get access to the Sky Sports News HD channel under carriage agreements between the two operators, although nothing has been confirmed as yet.

Still some hope

Cancel movies and sports and if you have had sky in the past ring them and tell them you want to return if you get a good deal,They should offer you sky world half price.They are expecting calls some of my mates have been ringing today,2 different deals
£24.25 or £34.25(if they insist on you taking the hd pack) its still cheaper than what you are paying vm and you have the best of both worlds and slightly cheaper and dont forget you get the full sports pack not half of it like you get with vm

They have sold their tv channels only, such as Living & Bravo. This does not affect any other part of the VM business.

Why should I have to pay an additional £7 per month on top of what I pay for Sky Sports/Movies?

Shocking news for VIP customers. They should reduce the tariff.
