Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

Im sure I heard an advert in the background earlier saying sky sports hd channels & sky movies hd channels will be Â£6.99 a month each.

Hardly Setanta's fault since they were already up to their necks in debt at the time of the last bidding round. ESPN were'nt even even at the dinner table. They were the proverbial vultures waiting for the lion Sky to have it's fill while they kept their distance until it was safe enough for them to pick up the scraps. They're lucky they've got 23 games since they didn't even have a bid in originally.

They were also quick to jump into bed with Sky to carve up the SPL between them.

Cheers Kgollop u have been a great help

Telephone Line Rental = Â£11.99
Talk Unlimited = Â£7.95
Talk International = Â£1.50
Talk Mobile = Â£1.50
T V Size: X L = Â£23.00
Sky Sports & Movies = Â£27.50
1 Additional V Box = Â£5.50
1 Additional V+ Box =Â£10
Broadband Size: XXL = Â£28.00
E-billing = - Â£1.00
Â£115.94

Strange i only pay 114.99 so making a saving of 00.95. So if thats correct I can get rid of vip save Â£3 pound by removing Talk International and Mobile.

BenMcr Whats your opinion & is it correct have i missed something cheers?

Yes, they must be reading these posts and reviewing the costs for HD, come on VM do the decent thing and give your long serving VIP customers some reason for staying

Virgin Media site

The site isn't down. That URL isn't currently in use, anything that has appeared there is being tested - the current website is at http://allyours.virginmedia.com
