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+.
If you want to compare Saving then v Saving now then compare VIP package then compared to now.

According to this:

Saving then was £26.50 on standard prices (look in the small print). Saving now based on my own sums is only £6.45. So if they gave VIP customers free Sky Premium HD's for both boxes that would take the saving to £20.45, still less than the saving at launch ;)

The link has been fixed though.
The redirect had placed a % value inside the link which is supposed to resolve to something, however had rendered a "Cannot find this page" error.
Now it actually redirects properly even though it hits a 404 error.

So if it was £85 then and its say £92 now (£7 increase) now does that not mean the other services have got more expensive also - remember you don’t have 2 for £20, 3 for £30 anymore and the fact VIP is offering more.

Well done to Virgin for actually being upfront about the price of HD for once instead of hiding it in the subscription price like normal :tu:

£7 is not a great deal extra a month:)

I think some people on here need to take stock of what's happening

Virgin

Have Free ESPN
Have Free HD

Sky

Charge for ESPN
Charge for HD
Sky Sports cost up £2 pm end of September

What are people moaning about, you don't want the HD services, you don't pay simple. Be grateful we are getting the red button (includ champions league) I pay £71 pm for the following

V+HD (XL + SKY SPORTS)
2ND BOX (STANDARD V BOX)
10MB BROADBAND
UNLIMITED PHONE CALLS + LINE RENTAL

With Sky I'd be paying over £20 more per month, take Sky Sports 3&4 HD out of the equation there ain't much there. Virgin Customers will benefit from this in the long term. Look at the facts

ESPN HD + SKY Sports 1 & 2 HD total cost p/m = £28

with Sky = £41 p/m from September

Be grateful Virgin are getting these services, Sky Sports HD was always going to cost a little extra.
