Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

We all have our opinons but I just dont get what all the fuss is about - The Dark Side charge £10 for HD content.

XL/VIP customer get all 14 HD channels at no extra cost, free ESPN which Sky charge between £8-£10

Were getting another 20 HD channels of which 13 are Sky Sports/Movies Prem HD £7 charge, with the remaining 7 covering the likes of ESPN Americia/Sky Basic HD channels at no extra cost to XL/VIP customers - and more can be added.

So all in all XL/VIP customer can get 34 HD channels, ESPN Pack for an extra charge of £7

God were hard done by - Sky can charge £18-£20 for the above.

That is a very, very good point.
We're actually better off by far.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

Maybe because we have had the discounted rate all the time, its the M-L customer who have paid the extra Prem.

Good to here ESPN America Hd is still on the cards.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

Agreed but its a poo deal for sky sports only subscribers would have been better to charge say 2.50 meaning sports would cost 23.00.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

Well said, Red.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

I agree with you on that - that is poor I would of expected VM to split or charge per bundle option.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

really looking forward to getting the HD package:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

I will consider staying with Virgin if the XL gets ESPN America HD , Sky One HD , Sky Sports News HD and Hallmark HD at no extra cost.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

My mistake EPSN is £12 with Sky or £9 if you take Sky Sports

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

I think the frustration for VIP Customers is the way the package has been devalued since it first came out. When VIP was first launched, it offered a saving of £26.50 on standard prices. This has now been shrunk to just £6.45 as price reductions have not been passed on. VIP used to include the best of everything available, but since the launch of 50Mb broadband this has not been the case, and now of course we effectively will no longer be receiving the top TV package as part of the bundle.

I've waited 4 years for these channels, and at £7 I'm still going to add them. The biggest disappointment for me is the "per box" price, and I can't really justify paying another £7 to get this on my new shiny V-HD box as well as the V+.

Well Im not paying the £7.00 my SD picture on my Bravia is spot on, not paying extra to see Rooney look even more ugly than he already is

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

I second that :D
