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

Like I said last night, Sky Sports SD already looks stunning on my Bravia and I am not paying 7 quid to see Rooney look even more ulgy than he already is

at the moment I am very much of the same. I will stay as is - NOWAY will I pay extra for Sky's movies + sports in HD - I can live with SD as I have up to now.

anyone have a clue if there will be a charge for the red button if and when?

How do you think the above statements would go down with the public? Just because SKY done/do it, does not make it right. The Govt should look into this practice. How can anyone justify this form of theft. Thats exactly what "PER BOX" is.

If this Â£7 charge is Sky's doing then they have royally shafted VM who have been made to look like mugs and expect us to pay for it.

It would be useful for you to demonstrate your statement that Sky is cheaper by detailing the figures here.

So you are unwilling to prove that your statement is true. I'll take that to mean that the Sky option is more expensive.

You must have done the comparison after all and have all the figures to hand.

Im past caring now to be honest, if it was a case where they just slammed a extra 7 pounds on my bill automatic i would be kicking right off but to be honest as I have just said in my earlier post I am happy with my Sky Sports SD picture so nothing changing for me

Stop making yourself look a tool. I'm Â£10 better off with Sky for better services.

The full Monty on Sky (HDTV) is Â£58.50 on VM it's Â£63.50. This is without confusing comparison by adding in other products.

Rang VM to downgrade from XL tv to M+ as Sky Sports is the same price and was told I'd lose my 10 year loyalty bonus. Brilliant VM! Adios

The normal. Unwilling to prove a statement so you revert to derogatory statements.

Awwww diddums just because I cant be arsed to type up all the figures for you. Like I said, go look on Sky yourself. Comparatively I am Â£10 better off a month moving to Sky and get better services. Plus Â£80 cash back with Quidco!

TV XL is only Â£23 if you take a phone line for an extra Â£11.99 otherwise it's Â£29 which was included in the figure I quoted.

I know VM included ESPN but I believe Sky include many channels that VM don't including SS3HD, SS4HD, etc.
