Even as a sport viewer, I am not prepared to pay extra for champions league football.

Take away the sport from XL and drop a few quid off the package. ( I can dream can't I?)

The bad news is vm will increase prices by £8p/m and will throw in a hd charge at £10p/m :p::D
HD box is already a separate item on the bill, just zero rated at the moment but I can see that being charged for soon as the ground is already laid. :(

5 quid extra for bt sport 3 and 4 would be preferrable. that'd be roughly 15 quid for bt sports. they cant justify charge sky sports prices of 25-27 quid as they dont have enough content.

champions league is all very good but its not on enough to charge 10+ more. their EPL rights remain the same.

VM will try and tell you their HD is free, even though it's hidden in the XL pack and as you correctly stated the HD box has a charge.

Virgin say HD is included, not free. At least not for a long while

This is 2015...HD is everywhere...is there really a need for any surcharge for it?
Netflix don't charge extra for HD, do they? mine is £5.99 a month, thought that was standard price.

If they can get away with it they will charge it and sadly it because of the relative inertia of customers who just seem to accept it as a extra charge rather getting up on their hind legs to complain about it or by quitting their TV packages.

Netflix do charge new customers for HD , its current new customer prices are as follows SD (1screen) £5.99 , HD (2 screens) £6.99 , HD/Ultra HD (4 screens) £8.99.

Blu Ray is also more expensive than DVD likewise so are PPV On Demand HD movies over SD movies.

If BT Sport is removed from the xl package then I would have to re-think my options totally. I could drop down a package or two and pay whatever BT charge for their channels,or leave Virgin altogether and sub to BT tv. It all depends on whether the sports channels are still free on BT tv in a years time. Alot to think about as I guess for others too.

i hear you sam. the only thing stopping me exploring such options is due to laziness. i love the virgin media broadband but if bt sport disappears and we have no sort of compensation for it in the XL package and prices continue to rise sharply i may explore sky tv. but i suppose i won't save much having sky tv and virgin media broadband... hmm

morning all btw. a horrible rainy day here.

now that would seriously annoy me and make me wonder if the subscription isn't getting to be be just too much.
